Llanddwyn Island beach Anglesey Wales with the ruined Twr Bach lighthouse and Snowdonia's peaks across the water

About

One of Wales' finest beaches, stretching for miles along the southwestern tip of Anglesey through Newborough Warren nature reserve. A tidal peninsula juts into the Irish Sea at the far end — Llanddwyn Island — home to a ruined lighthouse, Celtic crosses, and the legend of Saint Dwynwen. The backdrop of Snowdonia across the water makes this one of the most photographed spots in North Wales.
