Tide Times for Thu 20th August
Weather at Traeth Gwyn
Traeth Gwyn
Traeth Gwyn, meaning White Beach, is a secluded little cove on Anglesey’s northeast coast. Rather than golden sand, its shoreline is formed from striking white limestone pebbles, backed by steep cliffs and wild coastal scenery. The clear waters, rock pools and peaceful atmosphere make it a beautiful choice for those seeking one of Anglesey’s quieter beach gems.
Plan Your Visit to Traeth Gwyn
Traeth Gwyn is reached via a narrow single-track road followed by a steep path down towards the shore. Parking is very limited, so visiting outside peak times is advisable. There are no substantial facilities at the beach itself; the nearest public toilets are at Llanddona during the seasonal opening period. Take care on the steep access and around the water.
Traeth Gwyn means “White Beach” in Welsh, referring to the beach’s distinctive pale pebbles.
It is predominantly a pebble beach, although sand and rock pools become more apparent as the tide falls.
There is very limited parking at the end of a narrow single-track road.
The route from the parking area to the beach involves a steep, uneven path, so it is not the easiest beach for everyone to reach.
The clear water can be tempting for a dip, but the beach has steeply shelving pebbles and currents can be strong, so conditions should be assessed carefully.
There are no significant facilities directly on the beach. Seasonal public toilets can be found at nearby Llanddona.
