Relaxation- Surfing and beach sports are very popular in the region during summer months because of the immense size of the coastline, while still giving sun gods and goddesses the chance to relax and sunbath in peace and solitude. Ferry tours are a great tourist attraction from Barmouth to Penrhyn Point. Hiking, bird watching and cycling on the endless green mountain trails are popular tourist activities.
Sport- The towns' own football team Barmouth & Dyffryn United regularly takes part in the Welsh Alliance League.
Transport- Transportation is very limited in the region with only a rail service by the Barmouth railway station. It is recommended that you plan as many visits to locations and sites within the town as possible because of neighbouring town connections being so scarce.
