About the event

Join us and the Tywyn Beach Guardians on the beach between Tywyn and Aberdyfi to carry out a beach clean with a difference. We'll be looking for and learning about our egg-laying sharks as part of Project SIARC, and hunting for nurdles (tiny pre-production microplastics) to add to the total for The Great Global Nurdle Hunt.

The event organiser speaks conversational Welsh, please feel free to use Welsh or English during this event.

Bus G21 will leave Tywyn high street at 15:55 and a bell ring will stop the bus at the layby, if safe. Due to safety the return journey is from Aberdyfi only. Trains will also be running from Aberdyfi to Tywyn.

Access to the beach will be along a rough path and across the golf course. Please wear clothes and shoes suitable for beach work and the weather. Bring a drink and if sun is forecast, bring suncream. All equipment will be provided. There are no toilets near the beach clean area.
