Porth Nefyn beach is located in a long curved north facing bay. It is a gently sloping sandy beach and is backed by boulder clay cliffs. The beach is backed by the town of Nefyn, and then agricultural land. The cliffs are part of the Porth Dinllaen to Porth Pistyll SSSI and also the Clogwyni Pen Llyn / Seacliffs of Llyn Special Area of Conservation. The water quality sample point lies opposite the end of the minor road down onto the beach.
Water quality is classified as "Good" based on samples taken from the previous 4 years, 2021 through to 2024.
