Cemaes and Angelsey
Beaches
Local beaches we use and recommend. They’re in order of proximity to the house. There are loads more beaches on the island, it’s just these are the ones we use more regularly
Great beaches around a shallow water bay.
There are 2 main beaches which are Little beach - Traeth Bach and Big beach - Traeth Mawr. The café and toilet are on the big beach.
The little beach is great for collecting sea glass.

The little beach is great for collecting sea glass.
This bay is about 10 min drive from the house. Parking is free and is next to the pebble beach (no sand there).
The water goes quite deep quite quickly, it’s a long beach with a lagoon. The lagoon is a bird sanctuary though so it’s not available for use and dogs are to be kept on a lead.
The beach is fairly sheltered when wind is from a southern direction, but not northerly.

One of Anglesey’s must-visit locations! There is a network of walks around the ancient copper mine at Parys Mountain. A sight not to be missed is the spectacular Great Opencast – shaped by miners using nothing more than picks, shovels and gunpowder!
