The town works as a base for a seaside break, with the emphasis on staying put rather than ticking off attractions. The presence of three campsites suggests Aberdovey draws people who want to settle in for a few days rather than move on. The restaurants and cafés here appear to be concentrated within the accommodation itself—both the Seabreeze and several of the inns offer food as part of their offering, which is typical of small Welsh coastal towns where visitors eat where they sleep.
