Porthgain Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

Porthgain is a treat to visit. Once a small commercial harbour used for exporting stone from the nearby quarry, it now offers visitors a great pub, a super cafe/restaurant and excellent art galleries. Great coastal views and interesting industrial ruins complete the package.

Traeth Llyfn Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Traeth Llyfn is a pretty, sandy and rocky beach between Porthgain and Abereiddi.

The beach, backed by towering cliffs, is reached by very steep metal stairs but provides plenty of room for ball games and activities like flying a kite. There are rock pools to explore as well.

View of the Blue Lagoon from the Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

Stunning views from here over the Blue Lagoon, a flooded former slate quarry with deep blue water.

Watch the coasteering, kayakers swimmers and paddleboarding from the top while deciding whether or not you've got the nerve for the jump from the walls at the entrance of the quarry.

See if you can spot the fixing point for the Red Bull diving platform that took place from the cliff side at a height of about 27 metres.
