About
Fairbourne’s beautiful golden sands are backed by a steep bank of pebbles. They fringe a narrow finger of land that extends most of the way across the mouth of the Mawddach Estuary, with stunning views of mountains, woodlands and the sea.
The west-facing side of the beach can receive strong winds, making it ideal for water sports, especially windsurfing, surfing and sailing.
The beach has traces of World War Two - it’s ‘Dragon’s Teeth’ were tank traps to stop the enemy from landing here. The delightful narrow-gauge Fairbourne Railway - the tiniest of Wales’s many ‘little trains’ – runs to the end of the beach, connecting with a small passenger ferry which completes the journey to Barmouth at the opposite side of the estuary.
Toilets and parking.
Dogs
Dogs are restricted from the central third of the beach between 1st April and 30th September. However, there is still plenty of space on either side of the beach to enjoy with your four-legged friend.
