Barmouth - all beaches

This beach is simply stunning. It's almost as if the sand and sea were handpicked from the most picturesque postcards. And for those who prefer to avoid the company of dogs, you're in luck - one side is entirely canine-free. The water is crystal clear and pristine, and there are plenty of dining options nearby to satisfy your hunger. But let's be real, who needs food when you have such a breathtaking view?

This destination is a must-visit. Fairbourne is a quaint and peaceful town, with a limited number of amenities. The train service runs hourly, alternating between north and southbound journeys. You may opt to board the charming steam engine that will take you to the Barmouth ferry crossing in a matter of minutes. Alternatively, you can take a leisurely stroll to the beach. The beach is stunning, with endless stretches of soft sand. There is ample parking available for those who arrive by car. For those who prefer not to venture onto the beach, there are comfortable seats positioned alongside the wall. At first, there may be some stones, but these are likely there to break the tide.

The beach offers of a great expanse of sand and though it's often crowded, one can always manage to find some space to soak up the sun. The water is shallow, making it perfect for a leisurely paddle. However, I only gave it a rating of four stars as the naturist section of the beach requires a long walk.
