Pwllheli beach is a very long stretch of south-facing sand on the Llyn Peninsula and is also known as Pwllheli South Beach.

The beach starts out at the marina and stretches for approximately 3 miles to Llanbedrog and as you move away from the town you have a beautiful remote beach.

Pwllheli is known as the unofficial capital of the Llyn Peninsula.

Parking on the road behind the beach, toilets, promenade, beach shop and Pwllheli has a harbour.

Pwllheli beach has dog restrictions between 1st May and 30th September.
