Things to Do
Our coastal hideaway is ideally situated in Aberdovey, which boasts some of the finest beaches in Britain. With four miles of golden sand-dune backed shoreline, the beach is wonderful for sunbathing, swimming, surfing or fishing and attracts a wide range of watersports enthusiasts too. Plus – the backdrop of the mountains behind the beach is just breathtaking. The peaks of the Cader Idris and Aran Fawddwy ranges all within easy reach, making The Sea Shack the ideal holiday base for walkers, climbers and wildlife watchers too.
We could list so much to do here, but look on www.aberdovey.org.uk for full information. Instead I have listed my favourite places.
