The impressive new marina is now one of the best in Wales, with 24 hour access and all the services boaters need. The marina berths over 400 boats and there is space for visitors to moor up overnight. The marina has brought many more boaters to Pwllheli and helped other aspects of tourism in the area.
Pwllheli has two beaches. South Beach, which is mainly shingle, has been awarded the Blue Flag Award for clean sands and waters. South Beach stretches from Gimblet Rock, across the promenade, and around towards Llanbedrog.
Pwllheli is the major town on the Llyn Peninsula thanks to its market town heritage, which has carried into the 21st century with regular market meetings still taking place. Neighbouring Abersoch is the main tourist town in the area, with Pwllheli offering a quieter, more relaxed break, free from the hustle and bustle brought by endless swarms of tourists – although Pwllheli comes alive during the Wakestock Festival! Accommodation is available catering for romantic breaks, families and anyone else looking for a more peaceful Welsh holiday.
