Things to do in Porthmadog

Things to do in Porthmadog

Porthmadog was once the busiest slate port in North Wales, and is now a busy harbour town, with a range of shops and attractions.Two miles away at Morfa Bychan is Black Rock Sands, a popular wide sandy beach, low-tide caves, rock pools and an area rich in marine life where it’s possible to drive right onto the beach - a favourite with wind-surfers and kite buggy enthusiasts. 

Between Black Rock Sands and Porthmadog is the small picturesque harbour village of Borth-y-Gest with its beautiful estuary and mountain views.

On the outskirts of Porthmadog is the town of Criccieth.  The two beautiful beaches at Criccieth are separated by the medieval castle perched on a small headland and are only a short walk to the town.  Dog restrictions apply April – September.
