Borth Beach is a beautiful sandy beach located in the village of Borth, Ceredigion, on the Mid Wales coast. Part of Cardigan Bay, this Blue Flag accredited beach features a wide expanse of golden sand stretching for miles, making it perfect for families. The beach is well known for its fossilised submerged forest, visible at low tide, with tree stumps dating back around 3,500 years. Rock pools provide excellent opportunities for children to explore marine life. The beach is backed by a promenade with cafes, pubs and shops in the village of Borth. The nearby Ynyslas sand dunes and nature reserve offer additional walking and wildlife watching opportunities.
