Two miles of beautiful beach..... back at Nefyn, great for treasure hunting, swimming, sailing and a fantastic cliff path taking in all the coves along the coast of this very special part of North Wales

Nefyn Beach

5/5(1 review)

Nefyn Beach is a stunning unspoilt beach on the north coast of the Llyn Peninsula, Wales, perfect for traditional seaside holidays. With its long stretch of sand, small collection of picturesque white cottages and clean sea, it is ideal for families to spend a day with the children. The beach is also a magnet for people looking to do a spot of sea kayaking and canoeing, and occasionally the waves even become large enough for surfers to enjoy.
