Llanbedrog Walks - Llanbedrog to Pwllheli Coastal Path

4.04 miles (6.5 km)

Ordnance Survey Map Open Streetmap This pretty Welsh village is located in a lovely spot on the south side of the Llyn Peninsula.
There's a fine National Trust owned beach with wildlife such as oyster catchers and curlew to look out for at low tide. It's a great place for coastal walking with a wide area of beach, a large headland area, woodland and heathland to explore.
This walk takes you along a section of the Wales Coast Path from Llanbedrog to neighbouring Pwllheli. The walk runs for just over 4 miles along the attractive beach. Along the way you'll pass sand dunes and the Pwllheli Golf Course towards the end of the route.
To continue your walking from Llanbedrog you could head south along the coast path to visit Abersoch. On the way you will pass Mynydd Tir y Cwmwd (Llanbedrog headland) where there are more great views to enjoy.

Dog Walking

The area is great for dog walking. You are asked to keep them on leads on the beach during the summer months as it can get quite busy. The beach bar mentioned above is also dog friendly.

Llanbedrog Headland - Quarry Hopper Building - geograph.org.uk - 935792

Llanbedrog Headland - Quarry Hopper Building. Quite a hard to see or find structure as it is neither visible from the popular spots for visitors of nearby Llanbedrog or Abersoch. It is equally hidden when on the headland walk between the Llanbedrog and the Warren beach. This photo was taken from about 3 miles away from Pwllheli beach. Originally used as a storage building before stones from the quarry were shipped out.
