About

Church Bay (Porth Swtan) beach is located between Carmel Head and Holy Island on the northwest of Anglesey. Church Bay is so called because of the nearby St Rhuddlad's Church, Llanrhuddlad which is visible from the bay. A steep footpath from the village leads down to a beautiful bay made up of rocks, pebbles and sand. It is edged by rock pools and backed by steep cliffs along which the Isle of Anglesey coastal path runs. The beach offers excellent water quality and is popular for swimming, sailing and fishing.

Blue Flag beach. Toilets, pay parking, restaurant, cafe. Dogs are allowed/restrictions.
