About This Place

Located between Porth Wen and Cemaes Bay, at what is the most northerly point in Wales, is the small pebble cove of Porth Llanlleiana. Set in a green grassy valley, the beach itself is fairly unremarkable, but this is a very pleasant spot. --> Just behind the beach are the remains of Llanlleiana porcelain works. Pottery was produced here from china clay quarried at nearby Dinas Gynfor. This operated until the 1920s when it was damaged by fire. The area of grass in front of the porcelain works provides a more comfortable spot to relax than the beach and even has a picnic bench for just this. An ideal stop off for anyone walking the coast path.

💡 Our Take

Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Anglesey, Porth Llanlleiana Beach is a hidden gem for dog lovers, offering unrestricted access for dogs year-round. Its coarse sand is perfect for curious paws eager to explore. Convenient, free parking near the beach makes it accessible, though it's advisable to pack essential supplies, as amenities are scarce. The gentle shallow waters ensure a safe paddling experience, especially suited for puppies or anxious dogs that prefer calm settings. However, be aware of occasional strong currents further out. Ideal for a tranquil day with your furry friend, Porth Llanlleiana Beach is a delightful escape.
