Trearddur: Beaches, Nature and Sailing

Trearddur combines sheltered bathing areas, heathland habitat and maritime experiences to create a holiday destination with many different facets. Here, you can plan a relaxing day at the beach, explore a nature area with uneven paths or take an interest in kayaking and sailing. When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home, the key consideration is therefore which of these experiences should form the focus of your trip.

Beaches and nature around Trearddur Bay

Porth Diana is one of the two beaches of Trearddur Bay and is located in a nature reserve on Holy Island. The protected area is situated in a heathland habitat and has an uneven public access route as well as a path through heathland and grassland. There are no parking spaces directly at the nature reserve. Parking is provided on Ravenspoint Rd; from there, you can walk along the bay to the nature reserve. Take this walking and parking situation into account if you want to combine nature and the beach.

Swimming is possible in sheltered bathing areas at the beaches of Trearddur Bay. Anyone travelling with a dog must observe the leash requirement on the promenade of Trearddur Bay from 1 May to 30 September. Public toilets can be found on Lôn St Ffraid in the town's main car park; they are operated by Isle of Anglesey County Council.

Water sports and maritime impressions

There are opportunities for kayaking around Trearddur and nearby Holy Island, which are regarded as internationally renowned. Motorised watercraft are also a practical consideration: they must be registered in Trearddur Bay before they may be launched. This makes it possible to clarify at an early stage which rules need to be taken into account for your own outing on the water.

Another prominent connection with the sea is Trearddur Bay Lifeboat Station. It has two inshore lifeboats of classes B and D, covering 20 miles of the Anglesey coast. Visiting times are stated as Thursdays from 5 to 7 pm and Sunday mornings from 10 am to 12 noon. Directly opposite the RNLI Lifeboat Station is also Lon Isallt Children's Play Park, a free outdoor playground. This allows an outing to combine maritime information with a short play break, without implying any particular length of stay.

Sailing in summer

Trearddur Bay Sailing Club promotes sailing and sailing races and holds a sailing regatta in Trearddur Bay every August. The sailing season focuses on four summer weeks from the end of July to the end of August. The club also offers social events for the whole family. If you schedule your trip for this period, the club's activities can add a special touch; outside these weeks, the beaches, nature reserve and the water sports opportunities mentioned above remain different holiday ideas at the centre of attention.

Which accommodation location suits your plans?

For a trip focused on swimming and sheltered bathing areas, a plan that allows as much time as possible at the beaches of Trearddur Bay is a good fit. Nature enthusiasts should take the uneven path and parking situation at Porth Diana into account when organising their day. Those interested in sailing, the regatta or kayaking can give greater weight to the travel period and the watercraft regulations. You should therefore choose accommodation in Trearddur not on the basis of a blanket promise, but according to the desired rhythm of beach, nature, playground and maritime experiences.
