The first 17¼ miles from Caernarfon to Trefor are mostly completed on a road, the next 62¼ miles to Pwllheli follows a rugged coastline. The remaining 17¼ miles to Porthmadog are alongside, or on, beaches interspersed by short sections of road walking making a total of 96¾ miles for the walk described. Accommodation and shops are very few and far between on the northern part of the Peninsula after leaving Trefor. There are no youth hostels but some camping sites. The very good system of bus services, especially in summer, enables the Coastal Path to be accessed easily on a day to day basis from one of the main towns.
