Ynyslas beyond Borth is my favourite beach. It is possible to drive and park on the compacted sand. A must is to go over the sand dunes to the estuary opening and when the sky is blue the sea is turquoise - stunning! Look out for the ancient forest timbers visible when the tide is low.

I challenge you to walk up to the top of the hill! Or take the tram up and have a lovely meal at the restaurant as a reward. The view from the top overlooking Aberystwyth and Cardigan Bay is well worth the effort
