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).
