2 Good Beer Guide Pubs out of 4 ain't bad
You've got to be prepared to walk to find the Ty Coch Inn.

It's a magical place. The bible stating that it is one of the best beach bars in the world.
We experienced it in two modes, both showing different sides of its character. A fine Monday evening, where we could sit out front, take in the rays and take in views. Yr Eifl across the bay conquered earlier in the day.
 |
| The Rivals - 3 hills, 2 in view - across the bay |
The Thursday we walked Nefyn was grim beyond belief. Horizontal rain and misery. But the reward was the tiny bar, open at 11am, where tables are in scant supply. Sharing is compulsory and in a 3 pint stop we made friends with Cheshire farmers, New Zealand tourists and members of the Mancunian Abersoch golfing elite.

Magical, unforgettable experience(s).
And if it is low tide, the walk across the beach is quicker and more pleasant.
Sometimes.
 |
| Farewell, Ty Coch. We will be back |

| The Sun doesn't always shine in Nefyn. The beach walk back, from above. |
There's more imbibing to be done in Nefyn.
Yr Heliwr is the traditional boozer in the main street.The notice board outside implies that it has been brought back to life by the community. It's certainly been recently redecorated. Immaculate throughout. Our Sunday visit left me a touch underwhelmed. A tiny front bar with hard church pew seating and a huge high ceiling back room where the number of tables outnumber the punters 20 to 2.
However, a return visit on a Thursday - when they do very reasonably priced home cooked food - saw every one of those tables occupied. Beef Bourguignon for £11 a big hit. With everyone, including yours truly who was carrying a pizza from the Spar under his arm.

The Nanhoron Arms, was included for the sake of completion. We didn't expect too much from a golfing hotel, but there was a back bar occupied by locals speaking Welsh. Apart from the swear words. A jukebox (Coldplay are big in this part of the world) and a 50p pool table made for a half pleasant visit.

| Named after a boat constructed in Nefyn |
Which leaves the brewery tap and 2nd Good Beer Guide Tick, Bragdy Llyn. It's remiss of me to not mention the beer purchased in the blog. In an act of town loyalty, every venue was selling Cwrw Llyn wares.
 |
| My go-to pint of the week, although IPA was equally delicious |
Hosted on a business park, next to the police station, it was a popular spot, with early closing hours. 9pm on weekends, 7pm weekdays but it was open from 1pm everyday except Sunday closure.
A big window to see the shiny brewing vessels, handful of high tables, mezzanine overflow space and connect four.

The walk? Well, I am still drying my underpants. Coastal around the bays. My favourite bit was the shelter offered by this green lane.
 |
| If it wasn't for the Ty Coch, I may still be there now |
