The Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path runs over 125 miles
through some of the grandest coastal scenery in Wales – wide sandy bays
and estuaries; intimate coves; dramatic cliffs and rocky islets; sand
dunes and forests. Much of this coastline is a designated as one of
Wales five 'Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty'.
Leaving the North Wales coast, it is just a short drive across the Menai
Bridge to the Isle of Anglesey. The south coast of Anglesey borders the
marvellous Menai Strait, famed for its beautiful waters and marine
life. The east coast however boasts glorious countryside and fine
beaches at Benllech and Lligwy, and the massive expanse of sands at Red
Wharf Bay. The pride of the north coast must be the beaches at Cemaes
Bay, while nature lovers and bird watchers favour the lagoon and pebble
beach at Cemlyn Bay. Amlwch offers its association with Anglesey’s
sea-faring men and its historic copper trade at Parys Mountain.
