Morfa Dyffryn

Morfa Dyffryn beach is on the west coast of Wales, between Barmouth and Harlech in Gwynedd.

This sandy beach is several miles long and is chiefly known for having an officially recognised naturist area, 1 kilometre (1,100 yd) in length.

The nearest settlements are the villages of Dyffryn Ardudwy and Llanbedr where several camp and caravan sites and guest-houses are available.

[citation needed] The beach can attract several hundred naturists in summer during fine weather - despite which, it is rarely crowded.

Although the official designation was resisted by some local residents, complaints of indecent exposure and related behaviour have markedly decreased since 2000.
