About Nefyn Beach
Nefyn beach is a long curve of sand with rocks and rock pools below the town on the north coast of the Llŷn Peninsula. A collector who pinned it in 2026 rated it as having a good amount of glass and some grail-level colours, with the far end of the beach the best area.
Sea glass at Nefyn Beach
Reported colours include white, green, amber, soft blue, seafoam, aqua, teal, cobalt, black and even orange. Go at low tide and walk to the far end of the beach, which the finder rates as the best part.
Visiting Nefyn Beach
- Parking
- Car park at the bottom of the beach hill.
- Safety
- Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
