Areas: where to base yourself
- Beaumaris: Georgian streets, the castle and boat trips.
- Menai Bridge: close to the mainland with good restaurants.
- Rhosneigr: surf beaches on the west coast.
- Trearddur Bay: sandy bays near Holyhead and South Stack.
Food and drink
Anglesey is known for its sea salt (Halen Môn), oysters and mussels from the Menai Strait, and local lamb. Beaumaris and Menai Bridge have the best choice of restaurants.
Beaches
- Newborough / Llanddwyn: long sands and forest.
- Benllech: a family beach on the east coast.
- Rhosneigr: wide beaches and watersports.
Practicalities
Check tide times for Llanddwyn. The coast path is well signed; bus timetables make one-way walks possible on many sections.
Sample plans
One day
Beaumaris Castle and lunch in town, the Menai Suspension Bridge, then Llanddwyn Island for the late afternoon light.
Two days
Add South Stack, Holyhead Mountain and Bryn Celli Ddu.
