Nefyn and neighbouring Morfa Nefyn sit on the sheltered north coast of the Llŷn, wrapped around a curving bay. Their great draw is Porthdinllaen, a tiny huddle of cottages on a spit of land with a beach pub that you can only reach by walking across the sand or the golf course.
Staying near Nefyn
A relaxed north-coast base that splits the difference between busy Abersoch and remote Aberdaron, with a superb beach and one of the best pub settings in Britain.
What's here
The walk to Porthdinllaen and the Tŷ Coch Inn on the beach; the golf course strung along the headland; and the sheltered swimming and paddling of the bay.
When to visit
Late spring to early autumn for the beach and the pub; the north coast is sheltered from the prevailing south-westerlies.

Common questions
What is the Tŷ Coch Inn?
The Tŷ Coch is a pub on the beach at Porthdinllaen, near Nefyn, reachable only on foot across the sand or over the headland golf course. Its setting on the shore has made it one of the most photographed pubs in Britain.
Is Nefyn a good family base on the Llŷn?
Yes. Nefyn and Morfa Nefyn wrap around a sheltered north-coast bay with safe swimming and paddling, and the walk to Porthdinllaen and its beach pub is an easy family outing. It is quieter than Abersoch but less isolated than the far west.
