This beach is located at the south west tip of the Isle of Anglesey. Access is gained
via a large conifer plantation owned by Forest Enterprise. Offshore sandbanks fringe
the bathing area, which forms a relatively sheltered shallow lagoon. The bay is located
within the Newborough Warren and Llanddwyn Island National Nature Reserve. It is also
within the Anglesey Coast Salt marsh Special Area of Conservation, the Anglesey Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Newborough Warren - Ynys Llanddwyn Site of Special
Scientific Interest. The bathing water sample point is located 420 metres south west
of the main beach entrance.
Inspections are carried out by Natural Resources Wales in partnership with the local
authority and the water company. These are carried out pre-season (before the 1st
of May) and mid season, if required (during the bathing water season).
