About this beach
The vast open beach is sandy with a steep shingle and pebble bank at the high tide mark. Sea defences in the form of groynes, stretch the length of the shore front to prevent coast erosion. Borth coastal water and coastal belt forms part of the Lleyn Peninsula and the Sarnau Special Area of Conservation, confirming the high conservation status of the area. The designated water quality sample point is located in line with the train station.
