Abersoch is a large village in the community of Llanengan in Gwynedd, Wales. It is a popular coastal seaside resort with approximately 1,000 inhabitants, on the east-facing south coast of the Llŷn Peninsula at the southern terminus of the A499. It is about south-west of Pwllheli and south-west of the county town of Caernarfon. The village takes its name from the river, Afon Soch, which reaches the sea in the village. Originally a fishing port, Abersoch is now a tourist centre specialising in dinghy sailing and other watersports such as windsurfing and jet-skiing. Nearby Porth Neigwl or Hell's Mouth, is also popular for surfing; it can hold large swells in the winter which can reach 5 feet (1.5m) however south westerly prevailing winds can affect quality. Each year since 2000 Abersoch has been host to Wakestock a wakeboarding event. The ''Big Air'' competition on the main beach is held in July. Central Abersoch has a variety of small shops as well as bars, restaurants, cafes and hotels. Boat trips around St Tudwal's Islands to see the seals and other wildlife are available from the village. It is also popular for its close proximity to Snowdonia National Park, with Snowdon being visible from Abersoch Bay on clear days. There is an 18 hole golf course. Virtually all the indigenous residents of Abersoch are Welsh language speakers. Abersoch has a primary school for 3 to 8 year olds. The neighbouring village of Sarn Bach has a primary school for 3 to 11 year olds. The two schools between them educate 74 pupils. The closest specialist school is ''Ysgol Hafod Lon'' in Pwllheli. Year 7 pupils travel to ''Ysgol Botwnnog'', inland, which is a Welsh speaking school. Non Welsh speakers tend to attend ''Ysgol Glan y Mor'' in Pwllheli, away. ==Gallery== File:Abersoch Post office NLW3362818.jpg|Abersoch Post Office c. 1885 File:Harbwr Abersoch 632038.jpg|Abersoch inner harbour File:Abersoch Beach.jpg|Abersoch Beach File:Beach Huts on Abersoch Beach.jpg|Beach huts on Abersoch Beach 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abersoch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
