The short foot tunnel under the railway is decorated with some lovely maritime themed artwork by Sean Chambers Illustration (and family), 2022. Very pleasing is also the fact that, to date (August 2025), there is no graffiti defacing the illustrations.

The Aberdyfi Literary Institute is a charming building on the sea side of Aberdyfi and is a registered charity. There is a cosy Reading Room open to the public with some interesting old photos and information about the town as well as a splendid view across the estuary. Directly outside, a ships anchor, which was once recovered from the river, is on display. The Reading Room is open every day 9 a.m. until 4.30 p.m. except Sundays (when the whole of the Institute is closed) and the public are invited to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this room whilst reading the selection of newspapers available in the Reading Room – daily, local, national, weekly, monthly in both Welsh and English.

“Aberdyfi Beach in Southern Snowdonia is a popular beach of perfect sand and the occasional sand dune extends for miles, from Aberdyfi all the way to Tywyn. Advice for swimmers 🏊: even though the sea looks inviting, they must take care while venturing out, due to the strong currents around the estuary mouth.” Source: https://www.visitwales.com/attraction/beach/aberdyfi-aberdovey-beach-1948733

Meticulously whittled, this rather impressive wooden eagle is definitely worth stopping. Only a stone's throw away from the beach by the way
