    Absolutely beautiful beach. Stunning scenery surrounds you. Golden soft sands with some cobbled areas. Easy access for everyone to enjoy. Lovely sand dunes to find some shelter and a quiet spot to enjoy a picnic and watch the waves. Recommend!

    A pretty clean beach. It has quiet good parking though get there early as does get busy. It has stones on the top part of the beach, the beautiful soft sand on the shoreline. There are the usual seaside shops with fish and chips. Plus a little train for a tour if your legs are hurting after the shopping. A lovely place to spend the day, weekend or even holiday. Just need the great British weather.

    Absolutely love everything about coming here., the drive in and out is so gorgeous. The scenery is spectacular. I love the drive so much.. I went mid week and I had virtually an open road., I was so happy.. once you land in Barmouth there is a great little cafe that I forgot the name of but it’s opposite the sea view on a corner sell great soup! And the fish and chip shop oooh so good! Beach is clean, sandy and great for everyone., a real easy day.. stunning scenery, easy parking. 5* road trip

    Amazing beach. Areas for people with dogs and areas dog free. The town is lovely with plenty of shops, but it was the beach itself that is the best bit. Shallow and clean enough for hours of paddling with the kids. Will definitely be returning.

    A lovely sandy beach with a nice little town with plenty of places to eat and shops to browse around this really is where the mountains meet the sea! Big spacious car park right on the beach front with plenty of spaces however I can imagine that this still gets very busy in the height of the summer. My only negative to say would be the dog ban on the main area of the beach which takes the best central part of the beach away from dog owners in the summer. There are still dog friendly areas to the right and left of this central area which are still very nice but they can get overcrowded as the space is smaller than the central area.

    A personal favourite - lovely long sandy beach for a nice walk, along a beautiful small town. Great fish and chips nearby as well as plenty of parking as long as you get there early enough. I usually set off from Birmingham around 7-8 am and get here in 2.5 hours.

    Lovely Welsh seaside resort, great for young and old alike. It has 2 main car parks fairly large. Highly recommended for holiday. B&Bs nearby. If you are coming for a day out, I recommend you leave quite early about a 2 -2 1/2 hour drive from West Midlands, depending on where you live. Car parks fill up very quickly on sunny days. Recommended you leave at 7:30am. or earlier if you want a good space. It is pay and display at a machine prices reasonable

    Pretty good beach. It wasn't too busy when we went on a Saturday in mid-May. Looked clean, and had pletty of parking and benches to make use of if you didn't want to go onto the sand. The opposite side does have a few eateries, with a few more located just away from the actual beach.

    Beautiful beach no matter the weather, always picturesque. Great place to go for a walk, nice long walkable area. Good access with a massive car park directly opposite, loads of places to eat and drink close by.

    Lovely clean beach with great views of the Welsh mountains to one side and Cardigan Bay to the other. Ideal coastline, one of those places which you could easily relax but can still keep an eye on the kids if you need to aswell. So nice to see things slowly returning back to some sort of normality after lockdown with places opening up, but saying that it's a beautiful area to enjoy for walking, cycling and other outdoor activities, even without the shops and holiday resorts open again, but still pleased they are. The little town which is not that far from the beach, caters for most things that you need for your stay short or long, with a good variety of food and drink outlets, but not over comercial to the extent of Blackpool, Scarborgh and suchlike, where apart from a good night out those resorts I think have gone a bit OTT. Real nice place πŸ˜πŸ‘

    Wow - what a stunning beach!! Beautiful. Expect to pay Β£5.50 for a day's parking. There's not much in the town - a few seaside 'tat' shops, though some of the tea-rooms are worth a visit. Worth a visit for the beach if the weather is good, otherwise....

    Great beach would definitely recommend. If you are after stunning views, gorgeous scenery, clean fresh water perfect for swimming then this is the place to be at. Great food places, restaurants and ice cream parlours all with reasonable prices l. Also the beach is kept and maintained thoroughly clean I must say was impressed with cl an waters. Also breath taking views especially mountains and flushing meadows. A place not to be missed children would have plenty to do and you will get to admire the nature in the most of peace and tranquility. Also great customer service, friendly staff and people, can't go wrong

    A beautiful beach with amazing scenery, great areas of golden sand and great areas of sand perfect for building sand castles (for the children off course) there are some areas of sand with lots of pebbles but nothing too heavy. (My 2 year old was able to walk over barefoot ) There are shops nearby if you need a bucket and spade, fish and chips or ice cream or a co-op and Iceland for any other bits. All in all we had a great dayπŸ˜€

    As clean and spacious as ever, nice to see the new dunes by the harbour coming on, its a big change from the beach of the 80's. Great day out for the whole family

    Lovely seaside town, plenty of shops and places to eat. A beautiful beach. Plenty of parking.

  • 5/5 Caleb 9 months ago on Google
    One of the best beaches I've been onto in ages. Perfectly sandy, absolutely beautiful scenery, and nice and spacious for those busy times in the Summer. It takes about 3-5 minutes at least to walk from the promenade down to the water's edge over sand, but it's well worth it.

    We stopped here on a whim after travelling down from Porthmadog through to Aberystwyth. Amazing little place. The beach is really nice, clean, tidy and great for hunting for stones as we did with my son. Tide was out and made a great little costal walk. We then hit the amusements spending Β£40 In total across 3 hours. One of the best RTP I ever encountered in any amusements. 2000 tickets we managed to get Alot of things for my son as these were all reasonably priced. Sizzlers grill I think it was called... amazing food beautiful donuts and so so reasonably priced. I had steak and chips,Mrs had a burger and chips and my son chicken nuggets and chips served in a bucket with a spade. All came with a drink and generous portions, cooked fresh. 4 donuts were our pudding and all for Β£23. Normally food is extortionate at seaside towns but this one wasn't. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Car parking was pay and display and I think we paid Β£4 for 3 hours. Plenty of spaces. Would definitely return!

    Amazing beach. Clear waters ,soft sand,plenty if parking. Lacking in toilets. The scenery behind the beach with hills as a back drop was amazing. Loved the fact it was not overcrowded at all. Could do with a few more bins. Would definitely go again.

  • 5/5 Lukasz T. 1 year ago on Google
    We love this beach and not only for the wonderful views, the cleanliness of the water, the soft sand, the lack of crowds and location in Snowdonia, but also for all our walks that allowed us to discover the beauty of this part of Wales each time!

    First time at this beach and it was a great experience. Not over crowded when we visited. You got some decent places for lunch not far from the beach and car park also right outside the beach which is a decent price. Will be visiting again

  • 5/5 q m. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely awesome, I'll highly recommend it if you want to be a peaceful beach break.nice n clean with plenty of quiet spots to sit and relax. No issues, remember for public toilets limited option and no water fountain to clean yourself after a swim

  • 5/5 Paul D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great beach nice wide and sandy ideal for kids but sea can soon change. Dogs are forbidden during certain times. We were there to see the lifeboat come out to be launched and coastguard helicopter land so plenty to see.

    Nice surprise to find this beach lots of white sand and the shops cute very fishing village vibe 4 pounds all day not a rip off

  • 5/5 Rehmatullah K. 2 years ago on Google
    Very very beautiful beach. Even the drive is so beautiful and jaw dropping. It has a long coastal line so a bit of privacy. It has free and very well maintained Toilets as well at the Quay. The ferry ride is a must, Β£2.5/ head. The parking is very reasonable. Kids enjoyed every bit of it. Be careful about the tide, there is hardly any tide at around 2pm hence either go early in the morning or a bit late.

    What a beautiful beach. Huge. Water was so warm this weekend due to the heatwave. Was only a pit stop but glad we found time.

    We spent two days at this wonderful place, barmouth beach is so beautiful and the people are so warm and friendly.

  • 5/5 Ross P. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful, my family and myself had a fantastic experience. The background, looking back from the beach is breathtaking. I would personally recommend that anyone who wants a good day out to the seaside, goes here. Used to go as a kid in the 80s still the same only more updated, yet by showings my own family around for the 1st time phenomenal & many more to come
