The beautiful sand dunes are a prized feature of the beach. It is an extensive dune system that extends northwards from the town of Harlech over an area of 6 km2.

Morfa Harlech National Nature Reserve is one of the most important actively growing dune systems in Britain and one of the few in Wales.
Dunes like these with bare sandy areas are becoming increasingly rare.
This impressive coastal landscape is one of the richest natural treasures and home to a wide range of plants and animals, all specially adapted to life at the edge of the sea.
