Famous pub on the beach - once voted 3rd best beach bar in the world!
Dog friendly. Start the walk from above The Nest on the Llyn Coastal Path - takes about 30/40 minutes OR drive to Morfa Nefyn and walk along the beach - takes about 20/30 minutes.
Watch fishermen bring in the catch of the day, stop for a "peint" of local cask ale, lunch and then clamber along the headland towards the lifeboat station and over the world renowed golf course, for one of the best chances to spot seals and dolphins on the most stunning parts of the Llyn Coastal Path.

Welsh history anyone... throw in some lunch and a piece of cake. Yummy!
A little thick-walled building with tiny windows, just over the bridge in the centre of the village. Dating from 1300, a pilgrims favourite.
