Blackrock Sands
The vast and sometimes windswept beach at Blackrock Sands is the nearest good sandy beach to Bryn Teg. It takes around 40 minutes in the car, except that Porthmadog, which is on the way, can get very busy during the summer holiday season.

It takes about 40 minutes from Bryn Teg to get onto Anglesey, leading to numerous wonderful beaches. We have enjoyed

Newborough Warren - a large beach with dunes, forest, glorious views,... . Nearby Llanddwyn Island is full of interest.
Malltraeth Sands - not for its particular interest as a beach, but a bird watcher's paradise, especially in winter.
Nearby Aberffraw has historical interest and excellent dunes.
Rhosneigr has good beaches and opportunities for water sports.
Llyn Coastal Path
The recently-designated Llyn Coastal Path offers some wonderful cliff walking on the stretch around Tudweliog.
