A Guide to Trearddur Bay and Anglesey

18 March 2026 Owen

Anglesey is a place of myths and legends. Fact and fiction weave their webs to create an island that feels like a fairy tale. Peaceful pine forests, soft sandy coves and rugged cliffs hold secrets, wildlife, history and adventure – all enticing you further onto this island that some of us are lucky enough to call home.

From the moment you cross one of the bridges spanning the Menai Strait, you are on holiday. There are so many experiences waiting for you on Anglesey, from the peaceful solitude of a coffee in one of our many independent cafes to the exhilaration of coasteering from Porth Dafarch beach. There is something here for everyone, no matter the weather.

Anglesey is not only rich in experiences – it is an island of thriving small businesses and proud people. The two biggest industries are agriculture and tourism, so it is quite literally our job to send you home well fed, well stocked and well replenished.

Trearddur Bay

Trearddur Bay is an increasingly popular holiday destination, yet the rugged beauty of its coastline remains largely untouched. Peaceful coves and smaller beaches nestle among the cliffs, offering a different landscape to the two main bays the village is perhaps best known for.

Both Trearddur Bay and Porth Dafarch have been awarded the coveted Blue Flag award, assessed against multiple criteria including cleanliness and water quality. The main beach offers stretches of golden sand for traditional seaside holidays, while Porth Dafarch provides a wilder setting and serves as a base for coasteering, sea kayaking, rock climbing and paddle boarding.

After working up an appetite, the village has everything from laid-back coffee and cake to fine dining. We even have a bubble tea café. There are convenience shops for your morning newspaper, bread and milk, and an array of restaurants and pubs – all within walking distance of most of our properties.

The Climate

Anglesey has a low, rolling landscape with an exceptionally mild climate. Adverse weather fronts normally pass over the island, unloading only when they reach the Snowdonia mountain range beyond. It does rain on occasion, and the island gets its share of wind, but this only enhances the experience – dramatic crashing seas and blown spume make for exhilarating walks.
