14 attractions and days out

Anglesey's attractions lean heavily on the coast, and the choice of days out reflects that. Beaumaris makes an obvious base, with its castle looking out over the Menai Strait and a beach that suits a slower afternoon. Further round the coast, Benllech Beach, Moelfre Beach and Red Wharf Bay offer sand and rockpools rather than visitor centres, while Breakwater Country Park at Holyhead gives walkers cliff paths and views out to sea.
For something more active, operators such as Ribride Adventure Boat Tours and Anglesey Adventures run trips out onto the water, a good way to see the island's cliffs and wildlife from a different angle. Elsewhere, small curiosities like LlanfairPG Station reward a quick stop, particularly if travelling with children keen to see the famously long place name. Menai Bridge and Pentraeth sit conveniently between the beaches and the bigger sights, making them sensible stopping points when planning a route around the island.
