Porth Nefyn Beach is a long, sweeping, sheltered sandy bay nestling behind the Nefyn headland, situated next to Porth Dinllaen on the north coast of the Lleyn peninsula. The beach is predominantly sandy, with some pebbles and a number of picturesque, whitewashed cottages which huddle towards the western end of the bay.
Morfa Nefyn is a large beach on the north of the Lleyn peninsula facing northwards. It is neighboured by Porth Dinllaen to the west and Porth Nefyn to the east. The area is designated as the Porth Dinllaen I Borth Pistyll Site of Special Scientific Interest and the Sea cliffs of Lleyn Special Area of Conservation, with the Lleyn Peninsula and the Sarnau Special Area of Conservation to the west.
The small village of Nefyn, on the isolated north coast of the Llyn Peninsula, has a long, sandy bay, sheltered by the beautiful Nefyn Headland, and backed by steep slopes. The beach itself is known for its clear blue waters along with stunning views of the bay, and the distant three peaks of The Rival Mountains (Yr Eifl) to the east. The beach features a number of beach huts and can be an excellent destination for bathing and sunbathing in fine weather. There are some good rock pools to be found at low tide towards the headland.
Access to the beach from the village is down Lon Y Traeth, a steep track, at the end of which is a car park with public toilets. The Llyn Coastal Path heads west from the car park.
Porth Nefyn Beach is adjacent to the Llyn Peninsula Coastal Path and the Wales Coast Path.
