Nestled along one of Wales's most stunning destinations lies a tiny village which provides a perfect escape from the stresses of everyday life, boasting a wonderfully tranquil beach.

North Wales is home to a designated National Landscape area known as the Llŷn Peninsula, a 100-mile stretch of spectacular coastline.

Along that rugged coastline sit a number of heritage sites and beaches, one of which forms part of the beautiful Porthdinllaen.

Porthdinllaen is a charming coastal village within the peninsula that has earned quite the reputation for its secluded location and stunning surroundings.

In order to preserve and safeguard its peaceful atmosphere, it has been under the ownership of The National Trust since 1994 and remains a popular tourist destination,

This has enabled restrictions such as limiting car access to residents only, along with controlled on-foot entry points for visitors.

Upon visiting the beach and its quaint cluster of buildings, one visitor shared on TripAdvisor: "Stunning! Visited here in gorgeous weather with a friend to have a drink on the beach front. So peaceful and unspoilt. Would highly recommend."

Pub

One of the most beloved spots within this small but spectacular village is the pub, serving up delicious snacks, fine ales and unrivalled views across the Irish Sea towards Yr Eifl.

Ty Coch Inn is essential viewing on your journey to this hidden beach, whether for a pint of local ale or a quick bite to eat.

However, they don't accept reservations or table bookings, so it's first come, first served as it tends to be incredibly popular with tourists.

A recent customer shared: "A real tourist haven, it was great to visit Ty Coch Inn and to see the wonderful views – the service was prompt given how busy the place was.

"Food choices were limited (sausage rolls, pasties, nachos, and brie and bacon toasties) but fine if you just wanted to have a short break. We had to sit outside, but the weather held and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Would visit again."

Inside there's a traditional and welcoming pub environment, perfect for those chillier days, sheltering from the bracing sea breeze or brilliant for relaxing outside following a day of adventures.

However, the pub remains closed on Sunday evenings, and food service stops on all other evenings, with the kitchen only open during daytime hours.

Another customer claimed: "We loved the fantastic location of this pub right on the beach. A great view of the sea and the small bay. We were also delighted with the mega-friendly staff and the tasty little dishes on the menu."

Access

Navigating your way to the charming village can prove slightly challenging, but there's a car park available for visitors and a brief stroll from there to the bay.

To find the village, the address is Porthdinllaen, Morfa Nefyn, Gwynedd, LL53 6DA, and from the car park visitors can either take the footpath across the beach or make their way through the golf club.

One visitor shared their tips on finding the ideal spot, saying: "Porthdinllaen aka Morfa Nefyn Beach, is classed as one of the secret beaches in Wales. It also has a pub on the beach – The Ty Coch Inn.

"Well worth a visit for a few hours. Access it via the golf course instead of signing for the beach when you get there. Use the golf course's postcode to get there."

Upon arrival, it is worth bearing in mind that there are no public bins on site, and visitors are requested to take their rubbish home with them, as local resources do not stretch to monitoring and emptying bins.
