Text from the free encyclopedia WIKIPEDIA may appear below to give a little background information:

*************

Morfa Bychan is a village situated on the Llyn Peninsula in Wales, just west of Borth-y-Gest and Porthmadog. It can be reached from Porthmadog or via a country lane off the A497.

Morfa Bychan has a Spar shop (very small supermarket), a fish-and-chips shop, and a gift shop. There is also a golf course in the village^[1] and a playground.

Morfa Bychan has a 2-mile beach known as Black Rock Sands, onto which cars are allowed, although there can be a problem with irresponsible drivers.^[2] The sea is shallow, with a gentle gradient making it ideal for swimming and bathing; however, water bikes pose a threat to swimmers and each other.^[3] The beach has two dog areas and two non-dog areas, as well as separate bathing and boat-launching areas.^[4]

The west end has a number of caves, and one can walk to Criccieth, whilst the south end is flat and one can walk to Borth-y-Gest from it.

A number of music videos have been filmed there, including a Coldplay video.^{[citation needed]} Part of a 1970s version of William Shakespeare's Macbeth was also filmed on the beach.^{[citation needed]}

The cover picture from the Manic Street Preachers album 'This is my Truth, Tell Me Yours' was taken at Black Rock Sands.
