Barmouth or Beaumaris which one

[Soupsetscared]

Both are just over 2 hour drive. Want to go for 3 nights hopefully this weekend.
Couple early 60's like a gentle walks, nice restaurants and pubs.
Wandering around the town.

Never been to batmouth but live near beaumaris and can confirm its lovely x

I'm in the Northwest, absolutely love Anglesey. Never been Barmouth but I can certainly give a vote for Beaumaris!

Not Barmouth - Aberdovey! A hidden gem.

For restaurants/pubs I'd say Beaumaris. But by god the seagulls are loud 🤣

I thought this was going to be about choosing between two baby names

Also recommending Beaumaris!

We been Barmouth few times it's lovely not been beaumaris so wouldn't know 🤷🏻‍♀️

Beaumaris

Barmouth has a lovely beach but not much else.

Beaumaris is more of a town with places to visit - castle & jail. We went on a boat trip to Puffin Island when we were there.

Been to both more than once, lived near one for a while. I would pick Beaumaris. Check out the island more broadly and the gallery Oriel Môn in Llangefni, open 10-5 Tuesday to Sunday:

Went to Beaumaris last Summer - it was beautiful and I’d love to return. Never been to Barmouth.

Beaumaris is better for the sorts of things you're looking for. Barmouth is more for families with its lovely beach, amusements etc.

we liked Barmouth, had a couple of good pubs and restaurants. was busy. two was good for us but it's got a lot of child orientated shops. Beach is lovely. There is the walk over the railway bridge I think. But we are a bit out of date as it was before covid.

I'd go for Beaumaris & while on Anglesea go for a walk on Newborough beach, beautiful views of Snowdonia and a pretty little lighthouse among sand dunes

Barmouth has a lovely beach, not sure about good places to eat. However you are an easy drive to Harlech and Cricceth, both have castles and are lovely little towns. I think it may boil down to whether you want to remain in at your base or explore by car. If it is the former I vote for Barmouth and surrounding areas.

Another vote for Beaumaris. I live (fairly) close and it’s beautiful. Barmouth is also lovely but from your criteria, Beaumaris will suit you better I think. Have a wonderful time!

Beaumaris without a doubt. Great for a potter around the town and a stop at the Red Boat ice cream shop just along the high street.

Another vote for Beaumaris!

Beaumaris if you want nice places to eat and stuff to don
