Traeth Porthor is located in Gwynedd within Rhydlios, which makes it easily accessible and therefore popular among travelers. In the high season this may cause some discomfort, due to the large influx of tourists.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast, within the boundaries of the settlement, it is not difficult to get to it. If your stay is located not far from the beach, you can reach it by walking. In this case you will not be tied to finding parking or to the schedule of public transport. If you are traveling by car just use your navigator. In any case, do not forget about the availability of public transport and taxis.

User reviews

"We were so glad to have found this gorgeous spot! The beach was breathtaking, with its golden sand and crystal clear water. There was a cafe just a few seconds away, but unfortunately it was closed when we visited. I can only imagine how bustling it must be on a sunny day. If you're not into lounging on the beach, there are also some nice walks on the nearby cliffs."

"We visited this beach in the early 90's when our children were small, and we returned last week with our eldest daughter, who is now 36, and her two children. They all had a great time! The only difference is that there are now toilets at the bottom of the hill, which is a great addition, and the shop on the beach has expanded its menu."
