Porthlysgi Bay is home to a lovely little beach. You can’t park close by, so you don’t get as many people as at some. Nice at low tide when there's more of a sandy beach. Otherwise, it's mostly just rocks and a lot of seaweed, so not the best for swimming.

A great beach for a quiet swim or paddle.

Hiking

One of the many coastal bays on the Peninsula walk we did, some rocky, some sandy, some with seals. As this one opens up towards the South West, it's a great spot for a sunset.
