Food scene
Anglesey really is an experience for all the senses and it’s hard to find a better place for food lovers. Once known as the ‘Bread basket of Wales’ due to its fertile land, the island still makes the most of its surroundings, such as offering the freshest of seafood straight from the sea, seasoned with delicious Halen Môn sea salt drawn directly from the crystal clear waters of the Menai Strait.
Visit the monthly farmers market at Menai Bridge where local food producers offer a selection of tasty treats, most of which will be made, picked or caught fresh that morning. Or join us for one of our popular festivals, including the Menai Seafood festival or the Anglesey Oyster and Food Festival.
Of course, if you prefer your culinary delights prepared and served straight to your table, make a booking at one of Anglesey’s fantastic restaurants. Try the laidback style of Dylan’s, taste the best of local produce at the Black Lion, be tempted by the seasonal menus of the Bull's Head at Beaumaris or enjoy the amazing setting at the Oyster Catcher.
We have provided a list of some of Anglesey's restaurants and cafe's.

Beach
There really is nothing better than spending a lazy day at the beach! And being an island surrounded by 125 miles of stunning coastline, beaches are something that Anglesey does extremely well.
Whether that great beach day means loading yourself up with ball games, buckets, spades and fishing nets, or simply involves packing a tasty picnic and enjoying the surrounding beauty, our award winning beaches make the perfect backdrop. From long sandy stretches like Red Wharf Bay where it’s sea, sand and sky for as far as the eye can see, to more intimate rugged bays such as Porth Dafarch or Porth Swtan / Church Bay, where cliff paths and rock pools are just waiting to be explored.
And with our Blue Flag beaches offering so much to do, you could challenge yourself to a sandcastle competition at Benllech, don your wetsuit and hit the waves for some windsurfing at Rhosneigr or Trearddur Bay, or discover the legends of Santes Dwynwen and gaze upon the breath-taking views of Snowdonia while you paddle at Llanddwyn Island.
Benllech is one of the most popular of the island's beaches with fine golden sand and clear blue waters which are exceptionally safe for bathing and paddling.
There are excellent disabled facilities with access for both prams and disabled visitors.
At low tide the sand stretches for miles giving young children plenty of space in which to play or stroll.

While Colwyn Bay has been attracting visitors since the Victorian era, it’s not afraid to move with the times. In recent years, the seafront has been transformed with the arrival of the Porth Eirias development (home to Michelin award-winning chef Bryn Williams’s bistro) and the construction of a whole new beach. Not that there’s anything wrong with Colwyn Bay’s original beach, a spacious stretch of sand backed by a three-mile promenade, an airy seafront walkway that runs into neighbouring Rhos-on-Sea.
