Pwllheli Beach Guide
| South Beach |
|
||||||
|
|
South Beach is about three miles long and is made up of mostly sand and bits of shingle, apart from the Carreg-y-Defaid end, which joins Llanbedrog beach at low tide, where there are more rocks. The beach is fairly steep and on rough days waves from the southwest boom onto the shore, so it's not really suitable for surfing! The recently improved promenade offers good access to the beach via board walks over the sand dunes that back the beach. | ||||||

|
|
The sheltered shores of Glan Don are protected by the Gimblet Rock peninsula and the marina end of the beach may have some accumulations of sea weed as a result. However, just a little way along the beach towards Abererch the beach is generally much cleaner, but does get a little steeper. The beach is made up of good sand along the top and towards the marina, mud at low tide as the river estuary flows out right next to the beach, there is no mud further along. |
