4.2 miles away - 20 minute drive Porthor Beach (Whistling Sands) is an exceptionally pretty beach on the lesser-known Llyn Peninsula. The beach is backed by grassy cliffs and fields of grazing livestock and there are a number of interesting walks nearby. If you’re wondering why it’s also known as Whistling Sands Beach, come here during a dry spell and you’ll notice the sand making a distinct squeaking noise as you walk over it. This phenomenon is caused by the unusual shape of the sand grains here and this is apparently only one of two beaches in Europe where this effect can be observed. There are toilets at the car park and a cafe on the beach, which is open at peak times only.

A beautiful National Trust beach. Also known as 'Whistling Sands' due to the noise the sand makes underfoot.

Known as Whistling Sands because of the distinctive squeeking sound the sand makes when you walk on it. A fine beach with a small café/shop and toilets tucked away.
