Bryn Llan Caravan Park

This lovely little Llŷn Peninsula site is a couple of miles from Porthor or the Whistling Sands, a long length of beach hailed by the Bryn Llan owners as the best on all the peninsula (the whistling comes from the sound the sand particles make when walked upon; for added mirth, don't let the kids know this beforehand).

Porthmor's also a top spot for Llŷn Peninsula surfing as it's more secluded and less busy than Hells Mouth just along the coast, and is under 10 minutes drive from the surfing and bodyboarding waves of Aberdaron. You can sort boat trips across to Bardsey Island from Porth Meudwy near Aberdaron; elsewhere around the region, a beach, harbour, marina and more Bardsey boats are at Pwllheli within 25 minutes, and Snowdonia National Park is under an hour to the east.

There are spectacular views from the site (on a clear day you should be able to see all the way to Ireland), and a handsome setting with spacious grass pitches, room to roam and a fenced field for safe and secure play. Amenities include well-kept toilets and free hot showers; a washing-up area and chemical disposal.
