Morfa Bychan means ‘Black Rock Sands’ in Welsh – but you won’t find much sign of blackness on this open, wide sandy beach. Rather the name comes from a large headland rock that offers wonderful rock-pooling and caves to explore at low tide.

A holiday cottage in Morfa Bychan can offer both sea-views and glorious countryside views of the Snowdonia National Park. Choose one of our dog-friendly cottages between September and April and your four-legged friend will be allowed free reign on the wonderful sands, too. The beach is a great place for walking.

The bigger town of Porthmadog is just two miles away, and all of the delights of the Snowdonia National Park – including walking, climbing and kayaking and more – are within easy reach. So choose your Morfa Bychan holiday cottage today and let your adventure in this stunning part of Wales begin.
