Attractions / Activities
Nefyn Beach
Attraction
Nefyn’s two-mile long sweep of sands line a sheltered bay and natural harbour on the Llŷn Heritage Coast.
Nefyn, Gwynedd, LL53 6ED
Padarn Country Park
Attraction
The description ‘Country Park’ doesn’t really do this place justice. Ranged around the lake of Llyn Padarn, there’s everything here from watersports to walking, wildlife to industrial heritage, woodlands to inspiring mountain views.
Porth Neigwl | Hell's Mouth
Attraction
This beach’s dramatic English name is based not just on its semicircular shape resembling a wide, open mouth. Its hellish dimension comes from a savage, south-westerly aspect that offers precious little shelter to sailors.
Llanengan, Gwynedd, LL53 7LG
Porthor (Whistling Sands)
Attraction
This small, picturesque National Trust beach, backed by steep grassy cliffs, is on the Llŷn Heritage Coast. It’s famously known as ‘Whistling Sands’, a nickname based on the sound the granules make underfoot when you walk over its gleaming sand.
Aberdaron, LL53 8LH
Pwllheli Beach
Attraction
There are two beaches in Pwllheli, Glan y Don Beach and South Beach. Glan y Don Beach, which is south-facing, is one of the Llŷn Peninsula’s ‘best-kept secrets’, and can be found at the rear of the new marina’s workshops and compound.
Pwllheli, Gwynedd, LL53 5YT
Trefor Beach
Attraction
There are extraordinary views of the Llŷn Peninsula from this unusual little village. Trefor developed thanks to the local granite quarry. Its small harbour became extremely busy in the days when the granite was shipped to all over Europe.
