LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

Anglesey Beaches

Staying around Benllech, Lligwy and Pentraeth puts you close to some of Anglesey’s best beaches. Benllech Beach is a long sweep of sand with easy access, good for sandcastles, paddling and a walk along the shore at any time of year.

Just along the coast, Traeth Lligwy feels a bit wilder and more open, great for picnics and big skies. It was once named one of the 10 best picnic spots in Britain by Coast Magazine and on the right day you might even spot dolphins or seals out in the bay.

There are plenty of smaller coves and quiet stretches of coastline nearby too, so you can try a different beach each day without travelling far.

Family Activites

Families have plenty of choice within a short drive. If your children love animals, Pili Palas Nature World, Anglesey Sea Zoo and Foel Farm Park are always popular. They can meet farm animals, learn about local sea life and enjoy play areas and tractor rides.

For something a bit different, you can visit Mr Holt’s Model Safari and try one of their Monuts. On rainy days, local leisure centres and indoor play areas across Anglesey make easy back‑up options so children can still run around and burn off some energy.
