South-east Llyn Beach Guide
| Borth-y-Gest |
|

Image coming soon... |
Borth-y-Gest is situated on the side of the estuary, not a particularly nice sounding place, however, there are some very pretty coves along the side of the estuary towards Black Rock that you can walk to from Borth-y-Gest - access isn't too good though and the village can get congested. | ||||||
| Black Rock Sands |
|
||||||
|
|
Probably the most famous beach on Llyn, with masses of sand at low tide. You can take your car on this beach (at a cost), which is ideal for families and people with lots equipment. Sometimes there can be a big enough wave here to surf on, but care should be taken in the sea at the south-east end of the beach, where the flow of the river at low tide could sweep people out to sea. There are usually ice cream vans on the beach and there are toilets in the sand dunes at the back of the beach towards the Criccieth end. | ||||||
| Criccieth Beach (East) |
|

|
|
This beach is the western extremity of Black Rock Sands and you can walk over this far at low tide. The top of the beach is mainly pebbles and there is a bit more sand at low tide. Criccieth town centre is near by with lots of services and car parking is found along the top of the beach. The castle is located at the western end of the beach and it is possible to walk around the headland around it. | ||||||

The top part of the beach here has the most sand with lots of large rocks exposed at low tide. The beach is backed by a mainly residential promenade, however Criccieth's High Street and shops are not far away. There is some parking along the beach. |
