The North Coast Beach Guide
| Traeth Penllech |
|
||||||
| Photo to come soon | This beach is very "out of the way" and the car parking is set back about 500m from the beach and there is then a short walk, following a stream to the beach. On high tides there is not much beach left so care should be taken to ensure you are not cut off. There are masses of sand here, with just one or two rocks jutting out every so often. This beach can be good for surfing if the conditions are right. | ||||||
| Porth Towyn |
|
||||||
|
|
Porth Towyn is near Tudweiliog, which lies on the Aberdaron - Nefyn road about a mile inland. The beach at Porth Towyn is very sandy, with the odd rock towards each end of the beach. The sand on this beach also "squeaks" when you tread on it, rather like it's more famous neighbour. As with Traeth Penllech, surfers can be accommodated on this beach if the conditions are right. | ||||||
| Morfa Nefyn/Porth Dinllaen |
|
||||||
|
|
The beach at Porth Dinllaen is probably best known for its pub, the Ty Coch. The pub is just one of a handful of houses that line the top of the beach, nestled behind a steep little headland. The beach sweeps all the way around to Morfa Nefyn from Porth Dinllaen, though at high tide you may have to walk across paths at the back of the beach rather than the beach itself. There is ample car parking and a shop near the Morfa Nefyn entrance. | ||||||
| Porth Nefyn |
|
||||||
|
|
Nefyn's beach, displays some of the same characteristics as it's neighbour. There is a small collection of houses at the western end of Porth Nefyn and an entrance from Nefyn with a shop and car parking, though there is not as much car parking as at Morfa Nefyn here. Like the beach at Morfa Nefyn there is lots of sand and on the odd occasion there is a big enough wave for surfers. | ||||||
| Dinas Dinlle |
|
||||||
|
|
The beach at Dinas Dinlle is sandy at low tide with large pebbles making up the top area of the beach, though even here there is some sand to be found. The long promenade offers large amounts of parking and there are a couple of shops in the village that backs onto the beach. Follow the signs for Dinas Dinlle from the A499 about 6 miles out of Caernarfon. The beach is exposed to westerly swells and offers good views along the mountains of north-eastern Llyn, Snowdonia and Anglesey to Holyhead Mountain. |
