Ty Coch declared the third best beach bar in the world!

Morfa Nefyn's famous pub, the Ty Coch Inn, has come third in a list of the best beach bars in the world, compiled by the holiday company Cheapflights. The list includes locations in Jamaica and Australia, so it's a real measure of the Ty Coch's charm that it could compete with such sunny climes!

Landlady Briony MacMillan, 61, said: "I was surprised and thrilled - it's a nice accolade to have.

The Ty Coch (or Red House in English) began life as a vicarage in 1823 before it opened as an inn in 1842 for shipbuilders from the nearby harbour.
It can only be reached by walking nearly a mile across the beach or across a golf course on top of the headland.
