Red Wharf Bay (Traeth Coch)

Red Wharf Bay, Anglesey

Vast tidal flats of Red Wharf Bay (Traeth Coch) at low tide with golden evening light across the sand

About

At low tide, Red Wharf Bay reveals one of the largest expanses of flat sand in Wales — over four miles of tidal flats where oystercatchers and curlews pick across the mud and the light turns extraordinary at dusk. The Ship Inn sits right at the top of the beach and has been serving sailors and walkers since the 18th century. This is a beach for walking, birdwatching, and slow afternoons rather than swimming.
