Local attractions
Abersoch (five minutes’ drive/30 minutes’ walk) is often the first stop for family days lounging on the soft sandy beach, windsurfing or dinghy sailing adventures, and teaching the kids to swim in calm waves. Expert surfers will probably head for Porth Ceiriad beach (20 minutes’ walk), where waves come barrelling in at high tide; on calmer days it’s suitable for snorkelling or swimming.
You’re never far from the sea in the stunning Llŷn National Landscape, where you can swim off the sheltered beach and stop by the National Trust’s Porth y Swnt visitor centre. Stand on the tip of the peninsula at Mynydd Mawr (35 minutes), where you have views of Bardsey Island in the Irish Sea from the soaring black cliffs; you can take a ferry from Porth Meudwy (40 minutes) to visit the seabird and grey seal colonies on the islet.
For serious hiking, biking and climbing, the valleys and peaks of Eryri National Park await 40 minutes’ drive away. Active families looking for an adrenaline rush can take to the high-speed zipwires over the disused slate quarry at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (about an hour).
