Season: summer
Pwllheli has two Blue Flag beaches, each with excellent bathing water quality. Being part of a Special Area of Conservation, there is the chance to see wildflowers in the dunes and dolphins out in Cardigan Bay. The shingle South Beach stretches from Gimblet Rock along the promenade towards Llanbedrog. Glan-y-Mor beach is located at the back of the marina, sandy and running for three miles to the Pen-y-Chain headland. During the summer, Pwllheli is very popular with visitors. The town is a magnet for shoppers and those looking for a bite to eat. Keep an eye on the tide, as the pull is strong during the middle of the tide run and can catch people out.
The beach as relaxation for Andy.

We come to Pwllheli each year for our holidays. It’s a great town and a great base to explore the beautiful Llyn peninsula. Just perfect.
