About
A broad, sheltered bay on the northeast coast near Moelfre, Lligwy Beach (Traeth Lligwy) is one of Anglesey's best-kept secrets: a wide arc of sand that faces north, backed by low dunes, and rarely crowded even in August when the more famous beaches are packed. The rock pools at the northern end are excellent for children — filled with crabs, anemones, and small fish — and water quality here is consistently clean. A short walk south along the coastal path leads to Din Lligwy ancient village, making it a natural base for combining beach and heritage in one afternoon.
