The picturesque Llyn Peninsula is home to a wide array of different beaches, each of which is beautiful in its own way, but perhaps none are lovelier than this one. Technically, this one beach is actually two, but because they are connected they can both be enjoyed at the same time.
South Beach is probably where you’ll spend most of your time, a short walk from the town of Pwllheli. The beach is of the shingled variety, running from Gimblet Rock to Llanbedrog, stretching along the promenade as it goes.
Towards the rear of the marina you will find Glan y Mor, a beach that quickly gives way to a sandier stretch. This beach goes on and on, giving you three miles of golden sands to walk along and enjoy the view.
The beach is dog restricted, which means that you unfortunately cannot bring dogs here during the summer months, between the 1st of May and the 30th of September. However, throughout the winter you can feel free to walk your dogs along this lovely stretch of beach.
There are many opportunities for enjoying the water here, too, from canoeing, sailing and swimming to fishing, jet skiing and wind surfing.
