breathtaking views of Cardigan Bay and y... the picturesque harbour. The town's ead r beach, Abermaw, is west facing with e a mixture of sand and some fine shingle and is ideal for bathing and watersports. It can get very busy in the town, a land train runs along the promenade and there are traditional donkey rides, swing boats and amusement arcades. There is good disabled access to the beach. There is also a full range of shops, cafes and pubs are within a short distance. My favourite though is the fresh prawns and crab claws from the Lobster Pot on The Quay (a must on every visit) and Fish & Chips from the local chippy. My favourite beach is Morfa Bychan, commonly known as Black Rock Sands. It’s a sandy beach, with rocky areas - although the rocks aren’t actually black. The beach stretches for about 2 miles and is backed by a dune system which has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. There are plenty of rockpools to explore here as well as some interesting caves. A river mouth lies at the south-eastern end of the beach, and the village of Morfa Bychan is a few hundred metres away. When the tide is out you can walk around the rocks to Criccieth Beach - which is a pebble beach. The beach has lovely views of the mountains and country-side of Snowdonia National Park. A slipway provides vehicular access to the sands and most visitors park on the beach, making it a popular picnic destination and providing easy access for those with mobility problems. There are designated bathing and boat launching areas. Dogs are banned from the central section of the beach, but are allowed on the eastern and western sections. There are a number of holiday parks in the area surrounding the beach. In the village of Morfa Bychan there are shops, places to eat and a golf club. There are more facilities in the town of Porthmadog, about 2 miles from the beach.
