Local tip
Check the wind before you go: Crigyll’s exposed position makes it great for kitesurfers and windsurfers, but not for a calm paddle on a breezy day.

Rhosneigr village sits between two broad sandy beaches on Anglesey’s west coast. Traeth Crigyll, the town beach, has rocky outcrops and rock pools near the houses at low tide and continues on towards Traeth Cymyran. Traeth Llydan, on the other side of the village, is backed by sand dunes.

What to see and do

Rhosneigr is one of Anglesey’s main watersports centres, known for kitesurfing, windsurfing and surfing, and you’ll also see kayaks and sailing boats out on the water. Board hire is available in the village, and cafés, shops and a pub are a short walk from the sand. Nearby Llyn Maelog has an all-access boardwalk for watching wildlife.

Good to know

Crigyll is exposed, so the sea can get rough quickly. Parking is limited and fills up fast on busy days. Rhosneigr is not on the council’s list of seasonal dog-restricted beaches, so dogs are allowed on both beaches all year. Rhosneigr railway station, a request stop, is a short walk away.
