Aberdaron Beach and Village

Highlight • Viewpoint

Aberdaron is a very beautiful but busy coastal village that has an ancient pedigree. In days gone by this fishing village used to be the last stop for pilgrims on the way to nearby Ynys Enlli, or Bardsey Island. Now it is a quaint but vibrant tourist hub.

There's plenty to do at Aberdaron, the surrounding headland has miles of sandy beaches and secret coves to explore. There is also hiking galore as the Wales Coastal Path passes through here and being out on a headland there are a myriad of other hikes. Also let's not forget the one mile long sandy beach here which is one of the finest in Wales.
