Continuing down the Llŷn from Porthdinllaen, this leg picks up at Tudweiliog and runs the last nine and a half miles to Whistling Sands at Porthor.

There's basically nothing out here but the sea, rugged coastline and beautiful beaches. You pass Porth Ysgaden (ysgadan means herring, which tells you what it was for), Porth Ychain, Traeth Penllech, Porth Colmon and Porth Iago, each one a little cove you'd want to sit in for an hour.
