Favourite spot on the Llyn. Wild, remote, beautiful. Often used by nudists, as so vast and sparse, and plenty of space for this. Family-friendly. Great spot for naturalists as well as naturists: I've seen dolphins from the shore, and the cliffs are full of sand martins. One of the Llyn's untouched wonders.

Parking available, free if you are a national trust member which is a bonus! Toilets aren't great but at least they have them. A little cafe by the beach as well. Dogs were allowed on leads. Down hill from car park to the beach, not too strenuous!

A beautiful expanse of beach. Popular with surf/kite boarders, paddle boarders etc. Parking is free but the actual car park is small- no more than 10-12 cars. There is parking along the lane the car park is off though. Can get busy (For Wales). Beach is sandy when the tide is out and you can walk for ages and lose yourself in the bracing sea air. Amazing.

Our visit was part of a long circular walk and we walked from the car park, turned left and carried right to the end of the beach and followed the coastal path, which gave us great views of the where we had just walked. The day we visited, there was sea fog which gradually reduced. We could see a section was popular with surfers and we came across lots of jellyfish on the beach.
