Things to Do in Anglesey

Anglesey rewards a slower pace, and its days out reflect that mix of coast and history. Llanddwyn Bay and Porth Dafarch Beach are the sort of places you build a whole day around, with dunes, rockpools and long views across the Irish Sea, while a Puffin Island Pleasure Cruise gets you out on the water to see the seabird colonies and grey seals close up.

For something drier, Beaumaris Gaol gives a properly grim look at Victorian justice, and Pili Palas Nature World is a reliable choice for families needing an indoor option. In Holyhead, the Empire Play Centre covers wet weather and younger children. Between them, these attractions span the island fairly evenly, so it is worth picking a base and working outward rather than criss-crossing Anglesey in a single trip.
