Porthmadog Travel Guide

Porthmadog is a quaint little harbor town in Wales, United Kingdom. Originally built for trade purposes in order to export slate, the town has since become a popular seaside travel destination for locals and international visitors alike.

Things to Do in Porthmadog

One of the best things to do in Porthmadog is to explore the town and surrounding area's unspoiled coastline and beaches. Harlech beach, Black Rock Sands, and Morfa Bychan Beach are some of the most beautiful around the town. A day trip to the obscure settlement of Portmeirion is also worthwhile -- the town was built in the 1800s in the style of an Italian village and seemingly transports visitors to Tuscany with its colorful architecture and Mediterranean style.

Best Time to Visit Porthmadog

The summer months from June to August are the best time to visit Porthmadog and offer the best chances of catching some Welsh sun, as well as the minimum rainfall.
