Lligwy Beach (Traeth Lligwy)
Wide, sheltered sandy bay just north of Moelfre, with dunes, rock pools, a beach café and the coastal path either side. Dogs allowed all year.
Traeth Lligwy is a broad sandy bay on Anglesey’s north-east coast, a short way north of Moelfre. Fairly sheltered and quiet, it is edged by limestone rocks and farmland, with sand dunes and rock pools to explore. At its widest it is more than half a mile across.
What to see and do
The Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path runs in both directions from the beach, and Moelfre is about a 30-minute walk along it. Just inland are the Cadw sites of Din Lligwy hut group and Lligwy Burial Chamber, an easy add-on to a beach visit. The bay is also used for fishing, kitesurfing and windsurfing.
Good to know
Parking above the beach is charged, and there is a beach café. Lligwy is not one of the council’s seasonal dog-restricted beaches, so dogs are allowed all year.
