Porth Dinllaen, Morfa Nefyn, 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
Porth Dinllaen

Porth Dinllaen is probably the best harbour along the north coast for protection from the sea. It is almost a natural harbour with just a small wall of boulders protecting the beach where there are houses at the top of the sand.

The headland is quite rocky and care should be taken to stay clear of rocks that are submerged at high tide. There is a private access to the village, however, the nearest public access to the shore is at Morfa Nefyn across the bay, marked by white houses at the foot of the cliffs.

There is a pub in Porth Dinllaen, the Tŷ Coch (right at the top of the beach), with toilet facilities, there are shops in Morfa Nefyn about three-quarters of a mile away.
