Morfa Bychan backs one of the most famous beaches in Wales, Black Rock Sands. At the mouth of the Glaslyn Estuary, the massive expanse of sand at low tide has resulted in a beach big enough for cars to drive onto and this is one of the best things about it, especially if you've got a car full or gear to take to the beach, you don't have to carry it!

The village itself is the majority modern housing with lots of holiday homes and caravan parks around it's edges. There is a convenience store and chip shop in the village, with other facilities available just up the road in Porthmadog. Morfa Bychan is also home to Porthmadog Golf Course.
