Trearddur Bay a few miles northwards boasts a Blue Flag beach and close to the village another lovely beach, Porth Diana, offers boat and fishing trips along the rugged coastline. Join the Coastal Path towards Rhoscolyn and enjoy dramatic views of the stark vertical cliffs before dipping down to Rhoscolyn beach - a hidden gem, soft sand and an abundance of rock pools in which children will love to potter!Malltraeth Cycle Path and Newborough Warren Nature ReserveWalk or cycle this well-signposted path across Malltraeth Estuary to Newborough Warren Nature Reserve.
