Abersoch Beach

Abersoch is a popular seaside resort on the Llyn Peninsula about 7 miles southwest of Pwllheli. It takes its name from the Afon Soch River which feeds into the harbour at the south end of the beach. Originaly a fishing port, Abersoch is now a top spot for dinghy sailing and watersports including windsurfing and jet skiing. Occasional surf around the corner at Hell’s Mouth or Porth Ceiriad. 

The Beach regularly hosts international sailing events which provide a wonderful spectacle. If you feel like getting on the water you can take boat trips to St Tudwal and Bardsey Island.

Close to Snowdonia National Park, there are views of Snowdon from the long sandy beach which is east facing and sheltered. The beach is considered safe for swimming and bathing with no waves, currents or rips in normal conditions. In addition there’s an exclusion zone within a series of markers to keep swimmers away from boats and other watersports hazards.
There is a beach café, toilets and a slipway for boats with shops and pubs in the village nearby. Services include beach huts which are available for rent.
