Perfectly idyllic beach and not well known except amongst locals. Miles of endless sand dunes without the crowds and we would like to keep it that way, so Shhsssh! :)

World heritage site. Whilst not as well a kept secret as Benar Beach, it still has incredible sand dunes and a beach that stretched as far as the eye can see. Also the town of Harlech with it's incredible castle as also well worth a look.

Just a short 15 minute walk away. Take a stroll or leasurely bike ride along this stunning former railway line. Stop and have a picnic along the 7 mile stretch to Barmouth or through the wooded path to Dolgellau. Has to be one of the most idyllic trails in Britain.

A must see in the quaint town of Harlech just a 30 minute drive. Explore the old castle and take a brief tour before lunch or icecream in the town. Want to stay longer, then drive down to the stunning beach nearby!

Food scene

Great food and an intriguing indoor mini waterfall make this place a good gastropub experience. It is not very big though, so suggest early booking.

Since covid 19 this place has temporarily become a fantastic high end italian pizza restaurant. Available for both eat in and takeaway. It benefits from having fantastic views of the Mawddach Estuary and The Cadir Idris mountain range.
