Pwllheli Beach / South Beach Pwllheli
One of the biggest attractions for holiday makers staying at Gimblet Rock Holiday Park is having one of the best beaches in North Wales right on their holiday home doorstep. All guests and owners staying at our resort benefit from having direct access to the stunning Pwllheli beach and promenade, with Gimblet Rock sitting directly adjacent to this beautiful stretch of the Llyn Peninsula coastline.
Also known locally as Gimblet Rock beach due to our close proximity to the sands, it provides the perfect setting for a traditional family day out at the seaside without having to travel anywhere by car.
A Traditional Seaside Day Out
Pwllheli beach, also known as South Beach Pwllheli or Gimblet Rock beach, combines soft sands, clean coastal waters and plenty of open space so you can really make the most of your day without overcrowding.
Whether you want to build towering sandcastles with the children, paddle in the shallows, soak up the sunshine or simply sit back and listen to the sound of the waves, there is something wonderfully relaxing about spending time on this beautiful section of the Llyn Peninsula.
The beach also provides an excellent starting point for exploring the coastline around Pwllheli. Coastal walks along the Llyn Peninsula offer opportunities to discover spectacular scenery, fresh sea air and some of the area’s beautiful natural landscapes, making Pwllheli seafront an appealing destination for walkers as well as traditional beachgoers.

Instead, you can simply take the short walk from your holiday home at Gimblet Rock Holiday Park whenever you fancy some time by the sea.
If the children need the toilet, you fancy a bite to eat, want to grab something you have forgotten or simply fancy putting your feet up and catching up with your favourite television programmes, your holiday home is only a short walk away. You can then head back to the beach whenever you are ready, making it easy to enjoy your day exactly as you wish.
