Pack a picnic and head for the beach at Tywyn, a 4-mile-long stretch of golden sand backed by giant dunes. Tywyn is also the starting point for the Talyllyn Railway, one of the many 'Little Trains of Wales' that delight thousands of visitors annually.

In addition to its award-winning beaches, Aberdovey is a mecca for watersports enthusiasts. You can easily spend a week on the water fishing, sailing, surfing, rowing, canoeing, kite surfing, or simply enjoying a genteel trip up the Dovey Estuary in a motorboat which departs from the harbour. There are plenty of regattas every summer to participate in or watch from the comfort of a deckchair on the beach.

There are plenty of walks to enjoy in the area, ranging from a gentle saunter around the harbourside, Talyllyn Lake or the Dolgoch Falls to more strenuous days out up the Cader Idris or Mount Snowdon (which can also be ascended by steam train). Golf enthusiasts will enjoy a day out with a round or two in some excellent courses within easy reach of Aberdovey.
