Pwllheli sits on the south coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd, Wales, overlooking Cardigan Bay. Its natural harbour and modern marina make it the main market and service town for the peninsula and a gateway for coastal walks and boat trips.
The town retains a strong Welsh-speaking identity and a mixed economy of tourism, fishing and local services; you’ll find a lively market, sailing clubs and seasonal events, plus a compact historic core reflecting its maritime and Victorian-resort past, while the nearby Llŷn Coastal Path and sandy beaches draw walkers and families in summer.
