Gwynedd & Anglesey County Council regulations for PWC users

To ensure that everyone can enjoy the countys’ coastline, beaches and waters in safety Gwynedd & Anglesey County Councils have Rules and Regulations in place that, as a responsible PWC user, you must ensure you abide by.

PWC’s are great fun to use, but if you are an irresponsible or reckless rider you could not only be regarded as a nuisance, but also become subject to legal action or prosecution by either County Council or any other organisation or individual affected by your actions.

Before you use your PWC on the countys’ coastal waters, please read the Rules and Regulations in the link below.

The coastal waters of Gwynedd & Anglesey are home to a rich & diverse variety of marine life & cetaceans. Whilst any marine life encounter is a memorable one, we must all ride in a manner that both respects & protects such marine life.
