Porth Eilian Beach (1.9 miles)
The small bay of Porth Eilian is set on the fairly remote north-eastern tip of Anglesey. The name comes from the rocky headland to the east - Trwyn Eilian (Point Lynas). It is well worth walking out to the lighthouse for the views back to the bay and along the coast.

Porth Wen Beach (2.8 miles)
Porth Wen is an interesting little bay just west of the popular Bull Bay. Despite it's attractions Porth Wen is quite off the beaten track and mostly frequented by fishermen. The shoreline here is fairly rocky and a host of rockpools are uncovered as the tide drops out. Towards the western end of the beach…

Porthygwychiaid Beach (2.9 miles)
The beach at Porthygwychiaid is a secluded, wide crescent of shingle on Anglesey's east coast. This is about as remote and rural as you'll get on Anglesey and while access to the beach itself is not difficult you will have a fair walk from the nearest parking.

Set between its more popular neighbour,…

Lligwy Beach (4.9 miles)
Wide, sandy beach located just around the corner from the village of Moelfre. The beach of Traeth Lligwy is backed by low sand dunes giving it a wild, open feel, which is exactly what it is. At low tide a large expanse of firm sand is revealed providing all the space you could need for…
