About

Sitting just above the high-water mark at Red Wharf Bay since the 18th century, the Ship Inn once supplied passing ships working the Anglesey coast — a heritage that explains why seafood anchors the menu. The mussels, crab, and fish are as local as the view across four miles of tidal flats, and the dining room fills quickly at weekends when the bay turns gold in the afternoon light. Book ahead for weekends; the garden on a low-tide afternoon with oystercatchers working the sand is one of the finer ways to spend an hour anywhere on the island.
