Porthdinllaen Beach
Porthdinllaen is one of the Llŷn Peninsula’s most recognisable coastal scenes: a sandy beach wrapped around a tiny historic fishing village on a narrow headland. Its sheltered waters, traditional cottages and famous Tŷ Coch Inn create a wonderfully atmospheric setting. Look out for seabirds, grey seals and the seagrass meadow beneath the bay as you explore this special National Trust coastline.
