Barmouth is located on the west coast of Wales and has been a popular destination for holiday makers for many years. Living in Shropshire, it is only just over an hour and a half drive away so is the perfect location for a day trip to the beach.

Barmouth is ideally suited to families as there is plenty to do to keep young ones entertained. The beaches are golden sands with sand dunes rising up along the edge. During the peak season you can expect to find donkey rides, trampolines and bouncy castles all on the beach along with a wide range of cafés, ice cream parlours and even a fun fair.

There are some great little eateries in Barmouth, but these do get pretty full so it is advised to book in advance if you want to guarantee a table. If you enjoy a spot of crab fishing, then by yourself a set from one of the local gift shops and head down to the pier to set up.
