Latest reviews on Anglesey island's beaches

Trearddur Bay beach
8 Hermans Emma

The beach was absolutely breathtaking, especially with the sun shining down on it. It was a popular spot for families and their furry friends to enjoy together. However, finding a parking spot was a bit of a challenge, but we eventually managed to secure one after some searching. There weren't many dining options nearby, so bringing a picnic would be a wise choice.

Benllech Beach
10 Nolan Ristovski

This is a fantastic sandy beach where you can have a great time with your loved ones. The photos were taken during sunrise. From October 1st to April 30th, dogs are permitted on the entire beach, while from May 1st to September 30th, they are only allowed on half of it.

Porth Dafarch
8 Grimm 99

This beach is a charming little sandy sun trap nestled in a cove, protected from the wind by the cliffs. The sea is crystal clear, with a touch of seaweed, but surprisingly not too chilly for September! We strolled along the coastal path and brought a picnic since it could benefit from having a cafe or kiosk, although we heard that a catering van comes by during the summer. The restroom facilities were satisfactory. There are some large steps that provide seating, a handful of picnic tables, and a lovely memorial wall as well. It is truly beautiful 😎.

Lligwy beach
10 Livia Renner.

The picturesque beach is a sight to behold, and I always relish my visits here. It warms my heart to witness numerous families basking in the glorious sunshine. I had an amazing stroll on the beach with my furry friend, and it was truly delightful.

Newborough Beach
10 JASON LEE

This breathtaking beach is truly priceless, although a small parking fee of £2 for 2 hours or £7 for longer than 4 hours is required. While it's disappointing that natural wonders have become commercialized, the beauty of this spot is worth the cost. The only downside is the access road, which has too many speed bumps and not enough passing places. However, it's a small price to pay for the chance to experience this incredible location. Plus, if you head south, you'll be treated to the most stunning views of North Wales and Snowdonia. In my opinion, this beach is a true gem and a must-visit for anyone seeking natural beauty and tranquility.

Traeth Mawr
10 Surya Sundararajan

This stunning beach boasts convenient parking nearby and is situated along the picturesque coastal path, making it an ideal location for a leisurely stroll to the top for breathtaking views. Its natural beauty is truly captivating and sure to leave a lasting impression.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the island is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 17.7°C and water up to 16.1°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 8.1°C and water to 9.3°C.
