Lovely stretch of sandy beach. Check for the tide times. It was £8 to park for the day. You can park on the beach. To the right of the beach, no dogs are allowed, but to the left, dogs are allowed. There is an ice cream van there, but no other cafe or anything. There are toilets just before you go onto the beach. I would definitely recommend Black Rock Sands, especially if you want to drive onto a beach for easy access and have some lovely views.

Beautiful beach along the Welsh Coastal Path. If your walking from Porthmadog it's the last beach before you hit Black Rock Sands. There is a small bench near the path but plenty of sand (and rocks) to sit on around the bay. A good quiet spot to do some Bird Watching as we saw Oystercatchers, Herons and Little Egerts on the mud banks whilst the tide was out. Not to certain on swimming in the area but we did enjoy a little paddle to cool our feet off.
