Benllech Beach

Need a dog warden. Too many irresponsible owners

We’ve been staying in Benllech for a week.  At the ramp down to the beach is a clear sign showing designated areas for dogs.  There is no penalty displayed for not keeping to rules.  There is also a phone number to call the dog warden. 01248 752820, The Isle Of Anglesey County Council.  Irresponsible dog owners are completely ignoring the sign.  I suggest anyone not happy with this non compliance should phone the warden.  If enough people do it the Warden might earn his/her wage!  A beautiful beach ruined by inconsiderate dog owners.

Absolutely no enforcement of dog situation. They are everywhere and the people who ignore the rules are absolutely out of order just covering poo with sand letting dogs run free and bark at each other scaring children (and adults). Terrible and unhygenic place for children.

A beautiful beach ruined once again by dogs and a lack of control over them by the people who control the beach. What a shame.

Fantastic beach, if you like a beach that is quiet, not built up like the rest so not touristy it’s great.
This place hasn’t changed since I was a child staying in the caravans overlooking the bay.
Great times in the Rock pools, walking along the cliff walks to the next beach, and swimming in the sea.
Now we bring our two small jack Russell’s they love the beach, and we take them in the designated part of the beach for dogs, and alway clean up after them.
It’s truly an unforgettable experience, one which I have treasured for years and years.
The village has everything you need from a great pub to shops supermarkets and a garage, not forgetting the local chippy.
Don’t let anyone put you off, fantastic place, a little gem.

Visited June 2021. People were ignoring the dog restrictions and they were all over the beach instead of the designated areas. We love dogs, but sadly the kind of people that ignore these rules are also - as we observed - not picking up after their pets either.
That set us on edge as our younger children wanted to play, and we were checking the sand to make sure there were no nasty surprises.
The beach itself is beautiful, it’s huge and very family friendly. Well served by the ice cream parlour and little beach shop as well as having toilets and a good sized car park with fair parking charges.
We enjoyed our day, it was great for flying a kite, good rock pooling and even though it was busy it didn’t feel crowded as it’s so spacious.
It’s a shame there isn’t a lifeguard on duty or a patrol to encourage people to pick up their litter and to stick to the dog friendly sections of the beach.

Not been on the beach recently but most days its not too busy and your able to walk round to the neighbouring bay when the tide is out. Love this beach

We visited in August School holidays, despite signs for dog restrictions this beach was a dogs paradise, watched one owner put sand over their dogs poo instead of picking up. Won’t visit again, shame as it’s a beautiful little beach with a car park, toilets and some little places to buy ice cream.

Although dogs are meant to be on lead and only on certain parts of the beach, didn’t appear to be enforced
