FAQs

Can you recommend some things to do in Pwllheli?

Of course! Pwllheli sits in a fantastic location on the Llyn Peninsula, making it a great base for exploring the best of Gwynedd. Pwllheli itself is a bustling market town with plenty of shops, cafes and attractions. Here are some of our favourite things to do in and around Pwllheli: 
– Visit Portmeirion, a stunning Italianate village built into a wooded peninsula. (30 minutes / 17 miles away)
– Walk a stunning section of the Wales Coast Path from Pwllheli to Llanbedrog, culminating in sea views from the top of Mynydd Tir-Y-Cwmwd (14.5km / 3.5hrs out-and-back) 
– Rally the troops for an activity day at Glasfryn Parc, where you can try your hand at everything from wakeboarding to clay pigeon shooting. (10 minutes / 5 miles)

What are the best beaches in and around Pwllheli?

There are two beaches in Pwllheli itself. Traeth Pwlhelli is the town’s main beach, and it’s a scenic stretch of sand backed by a Promenade. Glan y Don is Pwllheli’s other beach and is a 3-mile mix of soft sand and pebbles. During the summer months, dogs must be kept to the far left ends on both beaches. 

Elsewhere, local beaches we strongly recommend include Llanbedrog, Abersoch, Porth Oer and Borth-y-Gest.
