Anglesey Tourist Information

Known in Welsh as Ynys Môn, the island of Anglesey has long been a favorite with tourists looking for short break holidays from across the UK and beyond, and it’s easy to see why. From the charming market towns that dot the island like Llangefni and coastal resorts like Cemaes Bay, Moelfre, Beaumaris, and Red Wharf Bay to the stunning beaches and glorious countryside, the island has something to offer every kind of tourist, from families with young children to outdoor enthusiasts looking for high-octane fun and adventure.

Beautiful Beaches

There are incredible beaches along the 125 miles of coast, so visitors are spoiled for choice. Benllech Beach, Lligwy Beach, Rhiscolyn, and Cable Bay are some of the most popular beaches on the island, with vast expanses of soft, golden sand and superb blue waters that are safe for bathing. If water sports are more your thing, head to Trearddur Bay or Rhosneigr for windsurfing, kayaking, or paddle-boarding. We have some amazing places to stay near all of the beautiful beaches.

Holy Island

For an interesting afternoon exploring the area’s rich history, head out to Llanddeusant, where the village takes its name from its church which is dedicated to St. Marcellus, or Holyhead, where the town is said to take its name from Holy Island, is separated by a narrow channel. The port town of Holyhead is worth a visit and essential if you wish to catch a ferry to Dublin! but Holy Island’s real interest is in the many standing stones and Neolithic features that remain there today.

Castles

As well as discovering more about Anglesey’s ancient past, visitors can immerse themselves in the medieval period with a visit to one of the castles. Beaumaris Castle is perhaps the most well-known and must-see destination in an outstandingly beautiful location. Aberlleiniog Castle is less well-known but is still well worth a visit. Other historical places of interest include the Amlwch Copper Kingdom, the Britannia Bridge, and the Plas Newydd Mansion.

LLanfair P G

Of course, no visit would be complete without a trip to the most famous railway station in the world - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwll-llantysiliogogogoch. Back in the 19th century, the village was given its exceptionally long name to boost visitor numbers - and that has certainly worked, with tourists still flocking there to take selfies alongside the sign on the village’s railway platform.

Top Restaurants

We all like to eat well. While searching for Anglesey accommodation and brilliant places to stay, consider where you may eat out. Anglesey delivers on this front, with the island tipped as the UK’s next big foodie destination. The Bull in Beaumaris, the Freckled Angel, and The Straits in Menai Bridge are all building a reputation for themselves as superb dining venues showcasing the best local Welsh produce. Catch 22 Brasserie is also building a name for itself, not least for its quirky and innovative desserts - beetroot chocolate fudge cake and grilled pineapple with gin and tonic granita are just two mouth-watering options on offer there.

The Coastal Path

Whether you choose to walk part, or even all, of the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path, or you head straight for the beach to soak up the sun and the family-friendly atmosphere, it’s impossible not to fall in love with Anglesey. With sheltered bays, stunning countryside, and plenty of historic sites and attractions to explore, no time spent here is ever quite long enough. This beautiful island never fails to impress with a huge range of amazing accommodations available.
