The location has been classified as an area of outstanding natural beauty, excellent for scenic walks.  Trearddur bay itself typifies this with its` golden sandy beach.
 
Undoubtedly one of Anglesey`s premier beaches, Trearddur bay combines cleanliness with space.

  Depending on the time of the year, there is a vast amount of sand, with an abundance of water sports, including canoeing, sailing, surfboarding, and water skiing.
 
Situated just south of Holyhead on Holy Island, or Ynys Gybi, Trearddur bay is a natural harbour with a gently sloping, sandy beach that is further enhanced by its variety of quality restaurants & excellent beach shops.

An added attraction is that the weather around Trearddur bay is usually mild, as the sea is warmed by the Gulf Stream and the worst storms exhaust themselves on the mountains of Snowdonia, making it a great place for a family break.
