Have Fun At The Beach

Rhosneigr boasts two stunning beaches, Traeth Crigyll and Traeth Llydan. Both offer expansive golden sands perfect for building sandcastles, exploring rock pools, or enjoying a family picnic. 

During the summer months, the water is warm and the soft sand at the back of the beach heats up beautifully, providing a warm and comfortable spot to lounge. The rest of the beach is subject to tidal changes, revealing a multitude of rock pools at low tide. These natural aquariums offer children the exciting opportunity to explore and observe prawns and crabs in their natural habitat. To the right side of the beach flows the Crigyll River, an ideal place for inflatable water play or observing the flatfish that dwell beneath its surface.

It’s with noting that lifeguards are not on duty and dogs are allowed on the beaches.
