Newborough Beach & Llanddwyn Island
One of Wales' finest beaches, stretching for miles along the southwestern tip of Anglesey through Newborough Warren nature reserve.
Beaches Rhosneigr, Anglesey
Rhosneigr Beach
A broad west-facing beach that catches the Atlantic swell and the steady south-westerlies that make it one of the UK's top kitesurfing and windsurfing spots.
Beaches Trearddur Bay, Holy Island
Trearddur Bay Beach
A sheltered horseshoe bay on Holy Island with clear turquoise water and a gently sloping sandy bottom that makes it one of Anglesey's safest swimming beaches.

Benllech Beach
A classic seaside beach on Anglesey's east coast with a long stretch of golden sand backed by low cliffs and a small car park right at the dune edge.
Beaches Red Wharf Bay, Anglesey
Red Wharf Bay (Traeth Coch)
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.
Adventures Beaumaris, Anglesey
Puffin Island Boat Trips
Seacoast Safaris runs RIB and rigid inflatable boat trips from Beaumaris Pier around Puffin Island (Ynys Seiriol), a small uninhabited island at Anglesey's eastern tip that is home to cormorants, shags, guillemots, razorbills, and grey seals hauled out on the rocks.
Holy Island, Anglesey
Coasteering on Holy Island
Anglesey Outdoors and Môn Adventures both run guided coasteering sessions on the dramatic sea-cliff coastline of Holy Island, scrambling, swimming, and cliff-jumping through caves and channels cut into ancient volcanic rock.
Beaumaris, Anglesey
Sea Kayaking from Beaumaris
Celtic Paddlers and several other operators offer guided sea kayak sessions on the Menai Straits, one of the most beautiful stretches of sheltered tidal water in Wales, with views of Snowdonia rising above the treeline on the opposite shore.
Valley, Holy Island
Pleasure Flights from Anglesey Airport
Valley Flying Group and other light-aircraft operators at Anglesey Airport (IATA: VLY) offer scenic pleasure flights over the island, giving passengers a stunning aerial perspective of the coastline, Snowdonia, and on clear days the Wicklow Mountains of Ireland to the west.
Rhosneigr, Anglesey
Kitesurfing Lessons at Rhosneigr
Rhosneigr's consistent Atlantic winds and flat inshore water make it one of the premier kitesurfing schools in the UK, with Funsport and several other BKSA-accredited schools operating from the beach year-round.
Attractions Beaumaris, Anglesey
Beaumaris Castle
The last and most technically accomplished of Edward I's Iron Ring of castles, Beaumaris was begun in 1295 and — despite never being fully completed — is considered the finest example of concentric castle design in Britain.
Llanddaniel Fab, Anglesey
Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber
A Neolithic passage tomb dating to around 3000 BC, Bryn Celli Ddu — 'the mound in the dark grove' — is the best-preserved prehistoric monument on Anglesey and one of the most important in Wales.
Penmon, Anglesey
Penmon Priory & Dovecote
At the far eastern tip of Anglesey, Penmon Priory is a remarkably intact complex of Norman and Early Christian religious buildings — a 12th-century church, the remains of a priory, and one of the finest medieval dovecotes in Wales, built around 1600 to house 1,000 pigeons.
Family Holyhead, Holy Island
South Stack Lighthouse & RSPB Reserve
Perched on a tiny island connected to Holy Island by a suspension bridge, South Stack Lighthouse (1809) is one of the most dramatically positioned lighthouses in Britain — 400 steps down a cliff face, with the sea surging through the channel below.
Rhosneigr, Anglesey
Gecko Surf School, Rhosneigr
Gecko Surf runs surf and kitesurf lessons from Rhosneigr beach, one of the most consistent wave and wind spots on the Welsh coast — Atlantic swell in autumn and winter, flat-water kitesurfing conditions across the shallow inshore lagoon in summer.
Brynsiencyn, Anglesey
Anglesey Sea Zoo
Britain's largest natural seawater aquarium sits on the shores of the Menai Straits at Brynsiencyn, showcasing the marine life of the surrounding Welsh seas through tanks that hold live lobsters, rays, seahorses, conger eels, and shoals of native fish.
