South facing and very sheltered, it's a good beach for sunbathing and popular for most water sports, especially surfing, bodyboarding, kayaking and sailing. Surf conditions at Porth Ceiriad can be excellent and are best around mid to high tide. Big swell days are not for beginners.

Dogs are allowed all year round and the beach can be accessed from the Wales Coast Path, south of Abersoch near Bwlchtocyn.
