In Wales we are truly spoilt with our stunning natural environment. Our craggy and uneven shoreline creates not just beauty, but also mystery. Though there are popular areas for visitors there is a always a secluded spot where you can often have our glorious scenery all to yourself.
The Llŷn Peninsula is home to dozens of beautiful beaches. Some are well-known tourist hotspots, other are hidden gems that people have simply stumbled across while out walking.
Traeth Yr Eifl in Trefor in Pen Llŷn is a small village, hidden away from the main road and the beach sits at the foot of Yr Eifl, the last mountain in the Snowdonia range. It rises 564 metres from the coast, meaning that this quiet beach boasts some of the most dramatic scenery in the area.

North Wales Live reported that it has been described by visitors as a "lovely little hidden gem", and it's not hard to see why. Towards the middle of the beach, and close to Trefor village, the beach is backed by a low, grassy slope. However, as you head south this rises up to become dramatic, towering craggy cliffs. The beach of Traeth Yr Eifl itself is largely made up of pebbles, although there are a few sandy areas.
It is a fair size, but often empty with visitors tending to sit on the grass above the beach, so it's the ideal location for a quiet stroll over the Easter holidays. While not the ideal beach for building sand castles, Traeth Yr Eifl is perfect for crabbing and surfing, according to reviews on TripAdvisor.
One person commented: "Well, what a great find. A huge breakwater, which was part of the quarrying business, guards a few picturesque boats and makes the place a suntrap. Not much sand but many rock-pools to keep you busy. All in all a very pleasant spot overlooked by the nearby mountains.
"And in early August, on a brilliantly sunny day, almost empty. A real bonus and frankly amazing for such a beautiful spot."
It also sits below part of the Wales Coast Path. This one in particular is an easy circular walk that provdes a cameo for the walks further down the peninsula, with spectacular cliffs and views all the way along Trwn-y-tal.
