Abersoch
is a coastal resort about seven miles West
of Pwllheli on the A499. It has grown to
become one of the most important water sports
centers for both sailing and surfing. It
is extremely busy during the tourist season
.
There
is a choice of luxurious hotels campsites
in and around Abersoch. Caravan sites can
cater for all from the well heeled yachtsmen
to the surfing Backpacker. There are specialist
shops from Chandlers to surfing equipment,
clothing etc.
The
village of Abersoch sits on Cardigan bay
on the A499, with the beaches of Porth Fawr,
Porth Bach and Porth Ceiriad being sandy
and South facing safe beaches. The river
mouth is a safe haven with good mooring and
tidal launching of smaller craft with safe
anchorage for larger yachts in the bay.
Whilst
Abersoch is extremely busy during the holiday
season, it is also busy during the winter
months with a great deal of educational and
cultural events- concerts, plays and WEA
lectures being held. Abersoch village hall
has been important in the cultural development
of the village. It was presented to the community
by the kindness of Sir William and Lady Winterbottom
in memory of their son Harold. It is managed
by a voluntary local committee and have facilities
for indoor sports - billiards, Badminton,
table tennis etc.
Abersoch
Primary school is in a timber building alongside
the hall. There is also Sarn Bach school,
about 3km along the road to Bwlchtocyn and
Cilan, the local primary school. This again
shows Abersoch's only relatively recent development
as a tourist mecca.
Abersoch
was once said to have been the most beautiful
of all Llŷn's small fishing hamlets. The
village of Llanengan and its ancient church
was the center of the parish.
