There are plenty of deep steps at the start and us oldies decided to avoid them on the way back.

Take time to visit The Maritime Museum and stop at their coffee shop whilst you're there before you carry on on your journey along The Welsh Coastal Path or just visit as part of a morw local stroll or visit to the beach.

The pub is a little bit out of the way. But, it is well worth the effort. The Tŷ Coch Inn is nestled in the village of Porthdinllaen near Morfa Nefyn, Gwynedd on the north coast of the LLŷn Peninsula. With views across the Irish Sea towards Yr Eifl and a sandy beach on its doorstep, what better way to while away the hours? Access to the pub is via bicycle and foot as vehicular access is for residents only.

This stunning mile long sandy beach is at the far end of the Llŷn Peninsula. Its beauty is that it is so close to Aberdaron itself, where there are good places to eat, shops, and car parking. This beach offers breathtaking views out into Cardigan Bay and provides a charming, beautiful atmosphere that is truly magnificent.

Pwllheli is a small town with several cafés, pubs and restaurants, as well as a big supermarket (Asda), long sandy beach, promenade and marina. In terms of tourism, Pwllheli is mostly overshadowed by nearby towns like Abersoch, Criccieth, and Porthmadog. However it offers plenty for people passing through or wanting a place for the night, and I feel the beach is very worthy of a detour!

Nefyn is a beautiful little north coast seaside village with harbour, museum and a graceful sandy crescent beach. The Llyn Maritime Museum tells the story of the peninsula’s often stormy relationship with the sea.

Aberdaron Beach is a mile-long (1.6 km) sandy beach in a beautiful bay at the very end of the Llŷn Peninsula. It's popular for watersports when the wind is right but can also be sheltered for much of the time, making it a relaxing spot for a rest while hiking in the area.
