Beaches
Tyddyn Difyr is a few hundred metres away from Porth Neigwl beach (Hell’s Mouth). Porth Neigwl is a four mile long beach stretching from Cilan to the edge of Rhiw. It’s a very popular beach for surfing (water sport equipment e.g. paddle boards and surf boards can be hired from Abersoch). Llŷn is famous for its beautiful beaches. Porth Ceiriad, Porthor (Whistling Sands), Llanbedrog and Tudweiliog beaches to name but a few, are worth exploring.
