Penrhos is a small community situated between
Pwllheli and Llanbedrog, just off the A499.
Penrhos is home to the Pen-y-Berth caravan park,
built on the former RAF base on slightly elevated land with good
views over Cardigan Bay to the mountains of Snowdonia and mid Wales,
the base has a long history, evidence of a small part of which can
be seen in a slate plaque on the wall at the turning for the caravan
park off the road leading to the small Polish community that still
remain in the area from the Second World War.
Nearby, the beach at Carreg-y-Defaid is the
western limit of South Beach, Pwllheli and is a popular spot with
fishermen. The Afon Penrhos would at one time have flowed into the
sea here, and there are shoals in the bay from that time. The
embankment which supported the Pwllheli-Llanbedrog tramway diverted
the river into its current route into Pwllheli Marina.
