A popular place to stop off when cruising around the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales is Porth Dinllaen, one of the few spots along this coast where you can get shelter from westerly winds.
With its highly rated pub and its lifeboat station, this anchorage is very popular and has visitor moorings.
For a quieter, more peaceful night at anchor, you might want to move just a mile to the east where there is the small harbour of Porth Nefyn, named after the village of Nefyn.
