About

Nefyn ward encompasses the town of Nefyn and its surrounding rural landscape on the northern coast of the Llŷn Peninsula. The area is defined by its coastline, which includes the sweeping curve of Nefyn Bay and the prominent headland of Trwyn Porth Dinllaen. Inland, the terrain rises gently with agricultural fields and scattered settlements. The ward's geography places it within the Pen Llŷn area, with the larger town of Pwllheli located to the south-east.

The town itself is a linear settlement stretching along the cliff tops above the beach. Its economy has historical ties to fishing and maritime activities, with a working harbour at Porth Dinllaen. A notable feature is the public golf course situated dramatically on the headland, with fairways running alongside the coastal path. The ward includes the hamlet of Morfa Nefyn and extends to cover local countryside, maintaining a distinct character within Gwynedd.
