Operator

Starcoast World was a holiday camp containing a small amusement park located in Pwllheli, Gwynedd, Wales, UK. The site originally opened up as Butlin's Pwllheli in 1947.

As part of a major expansion for the Butlin's chain, Rank moved the business of Starcoast World and Wonderwest World over to their Haven Holidays division, and reopened the venue as Hafan y Môr in 1999, replacing the chalet accommodation with static caravans. The amusement park did not make it over to the refurbished venue, however.
