Attractions / Activities

There are two beaches in Pwllheli, Glan y Don Beach and South Beach. Glan y Don Beach, which is south-facing, is one of the Llŷn Peninsula’s ‘best-kept secrets’, and can be found at the rear of the new marina’s workshops and compound.

There are extraordinary views of the Llŷn Peninsula from this unusual little village. Trefor developed thanks to the local granite quarry. Its small harbour became extremely busy in the days when the granite was shipped to all over Europe.

Tywyn’s name derives from Welsh words meaning dunes and seaside – so if you know a little Welsh you’ll know what to expect! There’s firm sand too – lots of it.
