Our beaches are - yellow, green and blue

Benllech Beach

Should someone ever think of opening an agency marketing custom made award-winning beaches, they would probably have to locate it on Anglesey.

Small cove beaches with rock pools to entertain the kids?
Yes.

Romantic and secluded beaches?
Most definitely.

Beaches with views of castles, ancient monasteries or battlegrounds?
No problem.

Perhaps a beach large enough to stage your family test cricket game, or Premiership football match?
Yes, and half time facilities as well.

Or quite simply, a safe bathing beach with clean water and sand?
Best in Wales.

You have come to the right place. Anglesey boasts 27 award winning beaches, six of them attracting the coveted Blue Flag award.

Everyone has his or her favourite beach. The sweeping bays of Newborough, Red Wharf, Cemaes and Lligwy are impressive.

Along the west coast you will find small postcard inlets, Borthwen or Porth Trecastell for instance, as well as the world class surfing destination of Rhosneigr.

Anglesey becomes an extremely popular destination during the summer months, but such is the abundance of coves and sand, your only company might still be the seagulls, porpoises and a good book.

What is particularly appealing to families is that the beaches are clean. There are six Blue flag beaches, 13 Green Coast Award beaches, and seven Rural Seaside Award beaches.

It means that in terms of cleanliness and the purity of water, these beaches far surpass the mandatory guidelines. Please use them….and, please, take your litter home and respect the next visitor.
