Stunning beach, rocks first then beautiful clean sands. The water is amazing you can go far out without it getting too deep, we enjoyed getting out on the paddleboard. Toilets open 10 - 6 a honesty box to keep them open. A short walk to an icecream parlor and a fish and chip shop a bit further down the road. Parking very reasonable too right on the beach front

A really lovely beach. One side dog friendly during summer months...a big stretch for them to run around too. Ice cream shop. Fairbourne railway stop. Parking. Thumbs up from us.

Lovely sandy beach (once you get over the shingle) which goes on for miles. Nice shallow incline and pretty quiet. Two car parks as well. Even has a miniature steam train. Well worth a visit.

A secluded beach with gorgeous views especially at sunset, parking was an issue as the machine was out of order but it was available using the paybyphone app.

There's also a cafe nearby if you want to grab a bite to eat, otherwise it's nice spot for a picnic.

You have got to visit this place. Fairbourne itself, is extremely small and quiet. You have the main line train every even hour travelling south and every odd travelling north. Within a minute you can be sat on the small steam engine that would chug down to the Barmouth ferry crossing. Or you could wall to the beach. Its gorgeous, lovely sands, stretches forever, car park, if you have come by car. Seats by the wall for those not wishing to go on the beach, there are stones initially, think these are to break the tide.

Great beach, very peaceful and not many people this time of year (October). Was lovely just sitting on the rocks and watching the sea. Gorgeous sunset.

Lovely beach, easily accessible. Park, walk 50m and you're on the beach. Walk another 100m and you're at a cafe with toilets.

Much nicer than Barmouth, less busy and more interesting ecologically, with salt marshes and plenty of hikes around.

Lovely clean beach. Great for dogs and the family. Good amount of space in the car park and there is a cafe also. I had a lovely drive down and drove on to Barmouth which was a lot busier but still enjoyed seeing. Fairbourne beach is much quieter if you come early.
