About this beach
Situated on the north Wales coastline, 11 kilometres east of Bangor, the beach is sandy at low tide, with stones and pebbles forming the upper bay area. The beach area extends approximately 1 kilometre, with rocks and coastal defences fringing the outer reaches. The coastal water and coastal belt form the Menai Strait and Conwy Bay Special Area of Conservation, confirming the high conservation status of the area. The water quality sample point is located at the north end of the promenade.
