The Quarry Beach is on the southern side of Tir-y-Cwmwd and there is very little of it at high tide, but lots more when the tide is out. The car park at the back of the beach may fill up quite quickly during the main summer holidays.

The beach is made up of good sand for it's length and breadth up until the rocky area on the tip of Trwyn Llanbedrog (the headland). The beach stretches across the front of the Warren Holiday Village until the cliffs nearer Abersoch.

The Abersoch end of the beach is referred to locally as the fach - and there is access from the main road just outside Abersoch across the sand dunes to the beach. Parking along the road is being clamped down on though.
