It stretches from Gimblet Rock, across the promenade, and along side the Golf course towards Llanbedrog. The beach forms part of the Llyn Peninsula coastal path, ideal for walkers and bird watchers.
The locals use this beach for catching mackerel, bream and sea bass. We also have sightings of the Cardigan Bay Dolphins in the summer.
