Black Rock Sands is within walking distance of the property and is an open, wide beach with fine sands. The name comes from the area to the west of the beach dominated by a sizeable, multi-coloured headland rock, low-tide caves and rock pools, an area rich in marine life. Natural history is also a feature of the local sand dunes, which have been declared a ‘Site of Special Scientific Interest’. Unusually, you can drive onto the beach here – so it’s a popular spot, not just for picnickers and sandcastle builders, but also for motorboats and water bikes which have a special zone designated for their use.
Porthmadog
Porthmadog is a coastal town located in the county of Gwynedd, North Wales. The town sits at the mouth of the Afon Glaslyn river, and its location made it an essential port during the 19th century, exporting slate from the 1830’s. The Ffestiniog Railway played a crucial role in the town's industrialization as it helped transport the slate from the quarries in Blaenau Ffestiniog to Porthmadog. By the early 1900s, the town was exporting over 220,000 tonnes of slate annually, making Porthmadog one of the world's busiest ports. The port also exported livestock and crops grown in the fertile Glaslyn valley.

Porthmadog flourished as a tourist attraction from the early 20th century onwards due to its stunning scenery and location, making it an ideal spot for beach holidays, sailing, and water sports. The town's proximity to Snowdonia National Park, the nearby Glaslyn Estuary, and the North Wales coastline drew many tourists. As a result, the town has various holiday resorts, caravan parks, and accommodation, making it an ideal tourist spot.
Recent years have seen several economic developments in Porthmadog, and the town's economy has been affected by the decline in the slate mining industry. The town's economy is now supported by retail, hospitality, and tourism sectors. The growth of tourism has led to a proliferation of recreational activities, attractions, and events throughout the town.
