The largest beach is Porth Neigwl between Abersoch and Aberdaron. Other large beaches are Llanbedrog and Nefyn.
Smaller but really delightful beaches are those at Porth Oer on the north coast near Aberdaron and Porth Ysgo on the south coast, where there is something for lovers of industrial archaeology as well. The beach at Porth Oer is busy on a nice spring day, has whistling sands that squeak under your feet when you walk, and has a small restaurant down at the beach.
There are impressive headlands west of Aberdaron, giving superb views over Bardsey Island (Ynys Enlli). There are many others but a really fine one is Mynydd Penarfynedd to the east of Porth Ysgo. A new road has been built from Porth Neigwl after a major landslide closed the former road.

Nant Gwrtheyrn on the north coast, where tiny hamlet Porth y Nant, until recently only accessible by sea, has been converted into a Welsh language and cultural centre. Some good quarrying remains on the cliffs.
Garn Fadryn is an ancient earthwork on a mound roughly in the centre of the peninsula, with terrific coastal views north, west and south and views west to the mountains of Snowdonia.
Bryncir Woollen Mill on the A487 is well worth a visit.
Yr Eifl the highest mountain on the peninsula, at 1,841 feet, with spectacular views.

• Walk the Welsh Coast Path, which goes around the entire peninsula. Along the North Coast of Llyn, you can walk to the Ty Coch Inn, located on the beach in the village of Porthdinllaen. The Inn serves food and drink and both the Inn and the beach are busy in the spring.

A popular food is a bap, a split roll filled with sandwich fillings, such as meat or cheese.
