Borth has a sandy beach and is a holiday seaside resort. There is a youth hostel in the village and caravan and camping sites nearby.
An ancient submerged forest is visible at low tide along the beach, where stumps of oak, pine, birch, willow and hazel (preserved by the acid anaerobic conditions in the peat) can be seen.
The long distance footpath the Dyfi Valley Way passes through the village.
The village's main line railway station is served by the Cambrian Line.
The station building houses a museum displaying community and railway historical artifacts and temporary exhibitions run by volunteers.
Borth is also the location of the Borth Animalarium and Borth & Ynyslas Golf Club.

The Borth inshore lifeboat (ILB) station was established in 1966 and is located at the southern end of the beach.
The village's war memorial, situated above a cliff south of the beach, was destroyed by lightning on 21 March 1983 and had to be rebuilt
