Like a destination straight out of a picture book, Tywyn is a Victorian resort town that has been famous since the 19th century. Well into the 21st century, it continues to attract visitors to its fine sandy beaches and dunes.

It’s also within driving distance of breathtaking Snowdonia National Park, making it a hotspot for travelers who enjoy a scenic hike. Surfers love its waves, too. Apart from its coastline, Tywyn is remarkably historic. Just walking around town, you will be able to spot structures that date back to the Norman invasion.
