Porth Ceiriad is out of the shelter that St Tudwal's Islands offer to
the beaches around Abersoch, and gets a good deal of swell from the
south west, ideal for surfers, especially at the eastern end of the
beach, where waves refract off the cliffs forming powerful "pyramidal"
waves. First time surfers or body boarders may want to start further
along the beach.
There are two car parks on the cliffs above
the beach and accessible via Nant-y-Big farm or near Cim Farm,
Bwlchtocyn (both at a cost). You have to walk down a long series of
steps to reach the beach, where large pebbles line the very top. The
rest of the beach is good sand.
