About this beach
Situated on the east coast of Anglesey, the beach is sandy, measuring approximately 1.25 kilometres in length, and is partly backed by a concrete promenade and the town of Benllech, and partly by limestone cliffs along the southern half of the beach towards St Davids. Benllech is located 300 metres inland of the Menai Straits and Conwy Bay Special Area of Conservation, falling within the Anglesey Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Trwyn Dwlban Site of Special Scientific Interest. The water quality sample point is located approximately 200 metres east of the slipway.
