       One visitor said: “Garth Pier has been beautifully restored and it is well worth a visit. There is free on road parking just up from the pier or pay at the kiosk to park in the pier's own parking area. Entry is not expensive and the walk along the decking is easy for everyone as there are seats on both sides.

       She continues, “The ice cream sold is delicious and there are some charming kiosks. You can indulge in authentic welsh food, whistlestop on the pier serves breakfast baps, scruffins, welsh rarebit and bara brith. It is guaranteed to lift your spirits, just enjoy the fresh air and the glorious views.”
