This pretty seaside town is one that’s perfect for a getaway in the UK if you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy a staycation this summer. Tucked away in North Wales, the seaside town of Nefyn is a hidden gem that feels worlds away from the bustle of everyday life. It was named by TimeOut as one of the best seaside towns in the UK, and it’s unsurprising to find it on the list.

With its crystal-clear blue waters, dramatic cliffs, and charming coastal paths, it’s a perfect destination for a peaceful getaway. The town is home to an iconic pub called the Ty Coch Inn, which has picture-perfect views of the coast.

One visitor on Tripadvisor said: “This is an excellent place for Welsh brewed beer, friendly staff and dogs are welcome too. 

“We didn’t order food but the menu looked inviting. We had a picnic on the beach instead with take away beer mugs of a very tasty Weisbeer.”

Another penned: “Fantastic location overlooking the harbour. Really great atmosphere inside, with a fantastic range of beers available.”

According to Wales Online, the pub has plenty of five-star reviews, patrons have hailed it as “unmissable” and “one of the best in the world”. 

Established in 1823 as a vicarage and later converted into an inn in 1842, Ty Coch once served the appetites of shipbuilders on the beach.

Nefyn Beach is a highlight of the area - the beach has calm waters, a clean shoreline and is ideal for swimming. It has become a favourite for families and nature lovers alike.

But what really sets Nefyn apart is Porthdinllaen, a tiny, car-free fishing village just a short walk along the coast from Nefyn Beach. 

Beyond the beach, Nefyn is rich in maritime history. The Llŷn Maritime Museum offers a glimpse into the area’s seafaring past, including tales of shipwrecks, fishing traditions, and wartime stories. 

Meanwhile, walkers can enjoy a stretch of the Wales Coast Path, which passes through Nefyn and offers breathtaking views of the coastline.

With its unspoiled charm Nefyn is ideal for a summer staycation and it offers the opportunity to explore the Welsh coast.
