About

A Beaumaris institution scooping hand-made ice cream from a kiosk on the pier that draws queues past the jetty most summer afternoons. Flavours rotate with the seasons and lean on Welsh dairy — the Halen Môn salted caramel is the one regulars argue about — alongside fruit sorbets and traditional Welsh cream ices. On a warm afternoon after the castle, this is the correct next move.

Frequently asked questions

What flavours does Red Boat do?

Flavours rotate seasonally. The Halen Môn salted caramel is the signature flavour and a perennial favourite. Welsh dairy cream ices and fruit sorbets are always available. Check the board on arrival.

Is Red Boat open year-round?

No — Red Boat is a seasonal summer kiosk. It typically opens from late spring and closes in early autumn. Check before making a special trip out of season.

How long is the queue?

On hot summer afternoons the queue can stretch past the jetty — allow 10–15 minutes. It moves quickly. Alternatively, visit in the morning or after 4pm when it's quieter.
