Ports and Harbours

The Outer Harbour, Pwllheli, LL53

The coast of Llŷn is varied, but many stretches of it, especially to the west and north coasts, are quite exposed and sheltered bays for boats have been very important in the past and still are today.

Take a tour of the ports and harbours around the peninsula:

Porthmadog Criccieth
Pwllheli Llanbedrog
Abersoch Porth Meudwy
Porth Ysgaden Porth Dinllaen
Porth Nefyn Trefor
Abersoch

The "main beach" at Abersoch gets extremely busy at peak holiday times, there is a slipway onto the beach to launch boats yourself (fee payable for access). For more info get in touch with the local harbourmaster.

Around on the harbour beach there are a couple of launch and recovery services that run up and down the beach. There are a small number of moorings behind the harbour wall (floating only about 1/4 of the tidal range), and the upper reaches of the harbour are only useable on high tides.

During the summer a large number of boats moor out in the bay (St. Tudwal's Road) and there is a taxi service available to your boat from the South Caernarfon Yacht Club (SCYC) headland.

The beaches along this stretch are fantastic, completely sandy, though care should be taken around the harbour for sand bars.

The nearest harbourmaster is based at Pwllheli, see contact details above.
