Abermaw is a coastal ward in Gwynedd, Wales, sitting at the mouth of the Afon Mawddach as it opens into Cardigan Bay. The area centres on the resort town of Barmouth, with a long sandy beach, historic harbour and the iconic timber-and-iron railway viaduct that crosses the estuary; the Cambrian Coast Line provides a scenic rail link to the region.
Locally the economy is strongly shaped by tourism and outdoor recreation - walkers, cyclists and watersports enthusiasts are drawn by the estuary scenery and the Mawddach Trail - while Victorian heritage, a working harbour past and a bilingual community give the ward a distinct cultural character, with Snowdonia and nearby market towns like Dolgellau within easy reach.
