The views out over Cardigan Bay are simply stunning taking in Black Rock Sands, Harlech Castle and stretch down the Welsh coastline with the mountains of Snowdonia as a backdrop. Dolphins, porpoises, gulls and seals can be seen at certain times of the year and the starlings swirling at dusk to roost in Winter high over the town are a sight to behold. Locally, there is horse riding, jet skiing, a golf course, boat trips and the Wales Coast Path and a good old fashioned day on the beach. With the West Highland Railway, Portmeirion, Zip World, Abersoch, Caernarfon, Harlech, Betws-y-Coed, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Bodnant Gardens etc within easy reach by car or train.
