Lovely, big, beach with sand and pretty shells. The flood defences create a lagoon area with shallow, safe water for paddling and swimming.

May 28, 2025,Wales Coast Path Borth - Aberystwyth

A great section of the Wales Coast Path and very convenient for a day trip. Take the train from Aberystwyth to Borth and then simply return along the coast. Along the way, you'll pass secluded spots as well as the bustling Constitution Hill, which is accessible by funicular. More on this soon in the Gipfelglück blog.
