ACTIVITY/Watersports

Abersoch and the Llyn Peninsula is a "mecca" for watersports enthusiasts with locations, shops and conditions to satisfy them all! Flat water in Abersoch Bay is often ideal for wakeboarding and waterskiing, sailing, powerboating and windsurfing. The "Main Beach" area is easterly facing and is protected from the prevailing winds. Surfers and bodyboarders are catered for at Porth Neigwl (Hell's Mouth), Porth Ceiriad and Porth Oer, beaches that are exposed to regular Atlantic swells. National and International Regattas are often hosted in Abersoch and Pwllheli at South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club and Pwllheli Sailing Club, with events for all size of craft from small dinghies to One Ton Cup class yachts. A large marina is situated in Pwllheli and moorings are available in the bay at Abersoch. Water quality in the bay is generally very good and water quality at Porth Neigwl is one of the best in Wales according to the Environment Agency. An inshore Atlantic 75 Lifeboat is stationed at Abersoch.
