Tywyn beach is a place of many personalities. At high tide, waves can come crashing up to the promenade. At half-tide, miles of beach is exposed, with shingle and groynes added into the mix. But at low tide? That’s when the magic can happen.

Submerged under Tywyn’s sand and shingle are vast peat beds, thousands of years old. Storms rip the sand away, exposing these petrified forest remains for a while, before the sand returns. Often, at low tide you can see small sections of the peat beds. If you’re lucky, you might see great swathes of them. They stretch for at least four miles and evidence of peat cutting can be seen, probably dating back hundreds of years.
