Your Seven Day Holiday in Rhosneigr with the Family

Day 1: Arrival and Beach Exploration

After you’ve settled into your accommodation, stretch your legs with a gentle wander along Traeth Crigyll. This expansive beach provides plenty of space for little ones to run wild while you savour those first breaths of fresh sea air. Watch the kite surfers dance across the waves before heading to Sandy Mount House for a relaxed evening meal, where the children can enjoy their kid-friendly menu while you sample delicious locally caught Menai mussels.

Day 2: Watersports Day

Rhosneigr’s reputation as a watersports haven makes it the perfect place for families to try something new. For teens 16 and older and adults, paddleboarding lessons with Funsport offer a brilliant introduction to the sport. Pre-booking is essential during the summer months. For children eight and older and adults, Gecko Surf offers family-friendly paddleboarding and surf lessons, with equipment rental available for the whole family. Their patient instructors are experts at getting everyone enjoying our sheltered bays safely. Afterwards, treat yourselves to ice cream from Chaplins while your wetsuits dry in the afternoon sun.

Day 3: Island History Adventure

Take a short drive to Beaumaris Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and arguably the most technically perfect castle in Britain. The moat, tower and walls create a natural adventure playground for inquisitive minds. Pack a picnic or grab lunch in one of Beaumaris’ charming cafes before visiting nearby Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens in the afternoon – a magical spot where children can play hide-and-seek amongst towering plants and secret pathways. This day offers a perfect introduction to Anglesey’s rich history and landmarks.

Day 4: Wildlife Wonderland

Start your day with a gentle stroll around Llyn Maelog, the freshwater lake just minutes from Rhosneigr village. This SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) teems with birdlife and waterside creatures. Bring binoculars and wildlife spotting books to engage younger family members. In the afternoon, drive to Newborough Forest and Llanddwyn Beach, where wild ponies and red squirrels might make an appearance if you’re lucky. The lighthouse and pilot cottages on Llanddwyn Island (accessible at low tide) spark imaginations with tales of the Welsh patron saint of lovers.

Day 5: Adventure Day

For families with older children, coasteering along Anglesey’s rugged shoreline offers unforgettable thrills. Local operators provide all equipment and safety instructions for jumping into crystal-clear plunge pools and exploring hidden caves. Alternatively, Anglesey Circuit provides junior driving experiences where budding racers can take their first driving lessons in a controlled environment. Round off your active day, head to Y Morfa for a quick drink to decompress and head upstairs to Meeze 40, a small plate restaurant.

Day 6: Cultural Exploration

Discover Anglesey’s ancient past with a morning visit to Bryn Celli Ddu burial chamber. This Neolithic monument is older than the Egyptian pyramids and sparks fascinating conversations about our ancestors. Continue to Oriel Môn museum and gallery in Llangefni, where interactive exhibits tell the story of Anglesey through the ages. Children particularly enjoy the art workshops frequently hosted during school holidays. For more cultural activities, explore our guide to historical sites in Anglesey.

Day 7: Beach Day and Farewell

Your final day calls for soaking up those last precious holiday moments. Head to Traeth Llydan (broad beach) where expansive sands provide ample space for cricket, rounders, or simply building the most elaborate sandcastle empire. The rockpools exposed at low tide are miniature marine worlds waiting to be explored with nets and buckets. As the day winds down, enjoy a farewell dinner at The Oyster Catcher, where children are genuinely welcomed with thoughtfully designed menus.
