Coasteering North Wales
There’s no better way to explore the beautiful coastline of North Wales than by coasteering North Wales. Combining a range of different activities, it’s a challenge for the body and mind as you get up close and personal with the coast and the birds and sea life that live there.
You get to scramble across rocks, climb, cliff-jump, explore beautiful sea caves, swim in hidden coves, ride the swells and encounter some amazing wildlife. There’s no other outdoor activity quite like it, and once you’ve tried it, you’re very likely to be hooked for life.
Invented by surfers in Pembrokeshire in the 1980s, Wales can claim to be the home of coasteering. It might well now be a global phenomenon, but it began right here. The stunning North Wales coast offers a diverse range of challenges, landscapes and terrain for you to explore. The quiet, unspoilt coast of Anglesey and the Llŷn Peninsula offers an amazingly varied and stunningly beautiful place to try this unique sport for yourself.
Is coasteering in North Wales dangerous?
The sea can be dangerous and unpredictable, and coasteering gives you a range of challenges. That’s why coasteering should only be undertaken with experienced guides who understand the terrain and the tides. Accredited operators will not only know how to keep you safe, but they’ll also know where to take you to ensure that your experience is completely unforgettable. You’ll discover remote caves, awe-inspiring stacks and get up close with amazing wildlife.
Do I need to be super fit when coasteering North Wales?
No! Coasteering North Wales is an inclusive activity with no upper age limit. As long as you’re over 8 years old, reasonably fit and can doggy-paddle, you can go coasteering. It’s not unusual for coasteering parties to include three generations of a family, with everyone lending everyone else a hand. You don’t have to be the world’s strongest swimmer to get involved. You’ll be provided with a wetsuit, a buoyancy aid and a helmet. You’ll not have to do anything that puts you at risk, or that you’re not completely comfortable with. Coasteering the UK really is for everyone!
Coasteering in Anglesey and the Llŷn Peninsula
Coasteering Anglesey and the Llŷn Peninsula is an amazing playground for coasteering. The long coastline, of both the island of Anglesey, and the unspoilt, mostly empty Llŷn Peninsula, offers some of the best coastal landscapes to explore. On the right day, the coast in this corner of North Wales can compete with anywhere in the world. Both offer opportunities for either hardcore ‘adventure’ coasteering or gentler ‘eco-coasteering’.
Adventure coasteering will test your skill, stamina and strength as you’re pushed to your limits. It’s a challenging adventure quite like no other for fit thrillseekers who want to push themselves. Eco-coasteering moves at a gentler pace while still getting you out into some incredible environments. You’ll get the chance to experience the beauty of the nature around you, see seals and dolphins, rare seabirds and incredible rock stacks. It’s a great way to try coasteering for the first time.
Porth Dafarch
On Anglesey, coasteering adventures often start or end at Porth Dafarch, a glorious sandy cove on the coast road between Treaddur Bat and Holyhead. Surrounded by a rocky headland, coasteering routes from here take you around an incredible stretch of coastline. You’ll jump, climb and swim your way around the Anglesey coast, most of which has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Morfa Nefyn
The beautiful beach at Morfa Nefyn is always a special place to visit and it makes a great spot from which to begin a North Wales coasteering adventure. A long sandy beach is set back in a semicircle of cliffs between two headlands. This makes it a fantastic place from which to try out coasteering. The beachside village of Porthdinllaen is just a short walk across the sands, with its idyllic pub by the sands, Ty Coch.
Aberdaron
The popular coastal village of Aberdaron is another great place to begin a coasteering adventure. A watersports centre, the coast from here gives you a choice of tranquil coves and challenging rocky scrambles.
