Explore golden sands, rockpools, and streams at this family-friendly beach with excellent water quality and year-round dog access.

Crigyll Beach (Traeth Crigyll) is Rhosneigr's main beach, offering a fine expanse of golden sand with easy access from the village. This marine conservation society-recommended beach is ideal for families seeking adventure and exploration. Young visitors can build dams in the stream where the Afon Crigyll flows into the sea, while rocky areas near the town reveal fascinating rockpools at low tide. The beach combines accessible family activities with excellent facilities including public toilets, a slipway, local shops, and nearby cafes and pubs. A backdrop of low dunes and fields creates a picturesque setting as you head west from the village. The beach is dog-friendly year-round, making it perfect for families with pets. For more experienced visitors, Crigyll Beach is popular among watersports enthusiasts with opportunities for kite-surfing, windsurfing, canoeing, sailing, and surfing in the right conditions. The slipway provides easy beach access for launching small boats. While swimming is generally safe, there is no lifeguard service, so visitors should take care when bathing.

Beautiful beach, with gorgeous views and West facing for those who love a good sunset. The beach is clean but can get pretty crowded, especially between 10AM and 6PM. There are a few tide pools to keep any wildlife enthusiasts (and kids) occupied as well as a few small restaurants and pubs nearby.
