Aberdyfi Beach
Attraction
Aberdyfi, one of Gwynedd’s most attractive coastal villages, stands in an idyllic spot where mountains meet the sea at the mouth of the River Dyfi.
Aberdyfi, Gwynedd, LL35 0EA
Barmouth Beach
Attraction
Barmouth is southern Snowdonia’s most popular seaside resort. In summer, its big sandy beach is a magnet for visitors, yet there’s so much space along miles of unbroken sands that it never gets overcrowded.
Barmouth, Gwynedd, LL42 1NF
Bennar Beach
Attraction
Bennar’s fine, sandy beach is backed by the occasional sand dune. These sand dunes are of Special Scientific Interest, since they are constantly developing and therefore changing their environment.
Dyffryn Ardudwy, Gwynedd, LL44 2HD
Black Rock Sands
Attraction
Even though the name suggests a dark beach, you won’t see much in the way of blackness. Black Rock Sands is an open, wide beach with fine sands.
Morfa Bychan, Porthmadog, Gwynedd, LL49 9YH
Criccieth Beach
Attraction
Criccieth’s two beautiful beaches are separated by its prominent – and still powerful – medieval castle, perched on a small headland.
Criccieth, Gwynedd, LL52 0HU
Fairbourne Railway
Attraction
It’s the smallest of Wales’s narrow-gauge railways, with a track width of only 12¼ins. So it’s dinky, it’s sweet – but it takes you on a railway ride through the dunes to some pretty big views of the Mawddach Estuary and mountains beyond.
