Barmouth Beach, beach in Wales
Barmouth Beach is a sandy shore along the coast of Gwynedd in Wales, extending for several kilometers. The beach features gentle slopes and wide areas of golden sand that are perfect for swimming and walking at low tide.
Barmouth developed as a trading port in medieval times and later became a major shipbuilding center. During the 1800s, it transformed into a fashionable seaside resort when rail connections brought visitors from across Britain.
Visiting at low tide reveals the most sand and offers easier walking along the shore. Keep track of tidal times, as the water returns quickly and can trap visitors if they wander too far out.
The Barmouth Viaduct crosses the estuary with a dramatic iron structure from the 1800s. Walking or cycling across this historic bridge offers unforgettable views of the bay and coastline.
