Traeth Penllech is a long, pale beach on the quieter north-west coast of the Llŷn, near Llangwnnadl — close to a mile of sand backed by low cliffs and rarely busy. A footpath and steps lead down from a small parking area, and a stream crosses the sand to the sea. Open access, with next to nothing in the way of facilities.
