Aberdyfi Beach — Attraction in Aberdovey

Good stretch of beach..quite clean..mostly sand..few small pebbles..surprised that there are many shells..good for kids. Smattering of shops along seafront selling midprice to low expensive ladies gents clothes..small supermarket.. a very nice fish and chip shop (tasty fish and chips..i recommend) selling also soft drinks..milkshakes etc. Further down the road off the main drag to left are a small collection of independant shop's..a gallery..surf type gear..picture gallery and store selling outdoor type clothing. I believe the are a couple of pubs too but did not go in. A short walk up the main road..on the right just past the railway bridge is a well stocked SPAR convenience store/post office..visited twice ...staff helpful and welcoming..opposite store are public toilets. To sum up.. very nice beach plenty of room when I visited...toilets to hand..some nice shops to browse and buy.

N.B. Try the ice cream shop on the sea front by the pier..delicious flavours..home made....painted...

We visit late in the season when it's a little quieter but you can still sit on the benches at the beach and enjoy the panoramic view across the estuary. The car park is a little pricey at minimum 4 HR stay payment of £3.30 but it's still a pleasant place to visit. The lifeboat station and shop is interesting when open and free toilets are available. Many shops along the front with a few cafés and some rather expensive cloths shops . A visit to the ice-cream shop is essential prior to visiting the beach. Also they old wooden quay is worth a visit just be careful not to fall off the side as the water flows rapidly past it. It's well...
