Dedicated sun lovers and pleasure hounds can head straight for the beaches. In total, 24 of these have won awards for their cleanliness with two (Llanddwyn and Llanddona) the proud owners of European Blue Flags. Surrounding the beaches is some of the finest coastal scenery in Britain, most of which is classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Circular walks are waymarked from most of the main coastal centres. The walks are mainly flat, provide wonderful views and are suitable for all the family.
 South Stack near Holyhead is probably the most impressive section of coastline. It is also the location for one of Europe's most incredible wildlife spectacles each May, June and July. During these months, tens of thousands of nesting seabirds set up home on the sheer cliffs. The cacophony created by the massed ranks of guillemots, razorbills and puffins just has to be experienced. It is as spectacular as an African safari. A mention must also be given to Puffin Island (Ynys Seiriol). The eponymous puffins were almost destroyed by rats a few years ago, but these have now been eradicated. Boat trips run around the island in summer from Beaumaris. In recent years, a number of modern tourist attractions have sprung up across the island. Anglesey Sea Zoo in Brynsiencyn attracts many visitors, young and old, as does Pili Palas, the butterfly centre. A considerable number of misguided people zoom through Anglesey on their way to catch the Irish ferry without stopping. Make sure you are not one of these foolish people - stop to explore this beautiful island. |
