Beaches
A. Holly Bay
The café here serves delicious meals and sandwiches! The water’s calm in the bay, perfect for people wanting to swim across it — around 2kms! However, it’s very deep, so only suitable for strong swimmers. There are often sand artists here, and horses for hire to take you along the beach.

B. Franscombe
This beach is popular with families with young children and people who aren’t strong swimmers, as the water is warm and not deep. Bring your own food to the picnic area, or try the great snacks at the café. However, the nearest car park is quite a walk away.

C. Barmouth Beach
This beach often has displays of animals and birds — skilfully made from sand, which you can also learn how to do. It’s perfect for lying in the sun — or explore the beach paths on foot for an hour or two. The views are fantastic.

D. Westley Beach
There are distance swimming, sailing and surfing sessions for people of all levels. The beach is also famous for sand sculptures displayed every weekend. It’s easily reached from the car park through a lovely wood, which you can explore on foot when it gets cooler.

E. Minton Strand
The sea here offers safe swimming and sailing even for beginners. A teenagers’ beach club offers sports like cycle rides, volleyball and beach chess — great for meeting new people!

F. South Beach
This beautiful beach offers safe swimming. When you want a change from sunbathing or watersports, there’s a funfair nearby and beautiful gardens to walk through, with tables and chairs for picnics. Leave your car by the gardens and you’ll be on the beach almost immediately.

G. Silver Sands
This beach has slightly warmer sea temperatures and gentle waves — perfect for children. There are play leaders offering games for younger ones, and surfing and sailing at all levels, including beginners. The snack bar is excellent too.

H. Maple Sands
Adults keen on horses love this beach. At certain times, the sea leaves warm-water pools on the beach, perfect for children to play. Further out, the water is deeper for more challenging swimming. The teenagers’ beach club offers group activities like making sand sculptures — great for making new friends.
