About This Place

Blue Flag beach Church Bay (Porth Swtan) on northwest Anglesey takes its name from nearby St Rhuddlad’s Church, visible from the beach, which is accessible at low tide. This beach combines pebbles and sand, bordered by rock pools against a backdrop of steep cliffs. The Isle of Anglesey coastal path runs along the top of the cliffs. The path that leads down from the village to the beach is fairly steep, so not suitable for wheelchairs; it can also be difficult to get pushchairs back up. --> It’s largely a dog friendly beach (some restrictions), and there is a lifeguard service. The restaurant is known for its lobster, and there’s also a café on certain days. The beach also has basic toilet facilities. The nearby (pay) parking is relatively limited in size, but once on the beach, the water quality is excellent, and the beach popular with those who enjoy fishing, sailing, and swimming. Keep your eyes open to see seabirds as well as choughs.
