Ynyslas

Ynyslas (Welsh for 'green island'; Welsh pronunciation: [ənɪsˈlas]) is a small village about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of Borth and 8 miles (13 km) north of Aberystwyth, within the county of Ceredigion, Wales. It is sandwiched between a long sandy beach in Cardigan Bay and the beach in the Dyfi Estuary. The area between the sea and the estuary beach is made up of the Ynyslas Sand Dunes which are part of the Dyfi National Nature Reserve and home to many rare plants and animals. The sands of the estuary beach can be driven onto and parked upon. The nature reserve has a visitor centre with toilets and a small shop. The northern end of the Ceredigion Coast Path extends to the Dyfi National Nature Reserve at Ynyslas.
