Playground

Right by the beach in Tywyn, this one’s a solid pick if you’ve got little ones in tow — the equipment is pitched just right for younger kids rather than the daredevil crowd. What really makes it work is the cafe attached, with staff who actually seem pleased to see you, which isn’t always a given. Grab a coffee, find a spot with a sea view, and you can keep an eye on the kids without feeling like you’re just waiting around. The food’s decent enough that you won’t be rushing off to find lunch elsewhere.
