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
Llanbedrog

The beach at Llanbedrog is one of the calmest in Wales, dominated by it's sheltering headland, Mynydd Tir-y-Cwmwd to the south, it is rarely rough here. Boats moor out in the bay during the summer months, though most of them end up on the sand at low tide.

To the northeast, towards Carreg-y-Defaid (the small headland that splits Llanbedrog beach from South Beach) large shoals dry out at low tide and so it is worth bearing these in mind - boats are better off sticking to the sandy end of the beach, nearest the road access and Mynydd Tir-y-Cwmwd.

At one time there was a pier off the end of Mynydd Tir-y-Cwmwd, which was used to load ships with what had been quarried on the headland.

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