Stunning, Blue Flag awarded, Traeth Trearddur.

Traeth Treaddur is one of six Blue Flag beaches on the island and among the most popular. It’s a long expanse of golden sand and turquoise water on the west coast of Holy Island, a short walk from the village of Trearddur Bay.

Access to deeper water is via a long smooth incline – making it an excellent location for swimming, especially for families with younger children, though there can be motor boats and jetskis during peak months. The nearest car park is a short walk from the main expanse of beach and has public toilets available, but there is a second car park (Maes Parcio Lon Isallt) within walking distance of the beach should you find Maes Parcio Lon St. Ffraid full when you arrive.

The area around Traeth Trearddur is fairly well developed, meaning that the amenities on offer are among the more plentiful, with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants all available a short walk from the beach.

Traeth Trearddur is located on the west side of Holy Island, itself to the north west of Anglesey, and visitors will find ample parking a short walk from the beach (though it can get busy early in the summer months). Maes Parcio Lon St. Ffraid is pay-and-display, and connected to the beach via steps a short walk along the prom. Further along Lon Isallt is Maes Parcio Lon Isallt which is also an easy walk to the beach.

Right next to Trearddur Bay village, there are plenty of amenities within a short walk of the beach – including public toilets in the car park itself. There are also several restaurants, cafes and bars in the village, meaning you can head to the beach as part of a more comprehensive plan for the day.

Visitors to Anglesey can find the beach by taking the North Wales Expressway (via the A5 for those using the Menai Bridge) and following the road all the way to the A5153 exit and then Kingsland Road (B4545). The journey takes around half an hour, and will lead directly to Maes Parcio Lon St. Ffraid.
