Local tip
Walk the coast path north from here to Lligwy beach.

Moelfre has one of the most famous lifeboat stations in Wales. At the RNLI Seawatch Centre you can climb aboard a retired lifeboat and hear about the village’s rescues, including the 1859 wreck of the Royal Charter, when around 450 people were lost on the rocks below. Then walk along the shore to the working lifeboat station and the statue of coxswain Dic Evans.

Good to know

Free, with children’s activities. Winter hours are shorter from 1 November.
