Winter arrives! Trearddur Bay - December 2011

 

 

Trearddur Bay on Anglesey is a popular seaside resort. The stunning main beach is a glorious stretch of golden sand with pretty smaller sandy coves to be found either side of the Main Bay. The Bay owes its popularity not only to its beauty but also to the fact that it is a proper Bay and recesses in away from the open sea and is therefore relatively safe and sheltered for swimming, sailing and other water sports. The Trearddur Bay Sailing Club was founded in Trearddur in 1919. Please note about Trearddur Bay's Main Bay:

• A car park is located behind Main Bay and car parking is possible in designated areas.A promenade runs along the length of Main Bay, accessible for wheelchair users. 
• Dogs are restricted to one half of Trearddur's main Bay from 1st May - 30th September.
• Boat and jet ski park and launch services are possible via one slipway opposite the Trearddur Bay Hotel, for more information contact Malcolm Campbell of Anglesey Marine & Leisure on 01407 860 156. Other services include: boat rental, trips, boat sales, maintenance.

The main high street offers 2 shops: Trearddur Bay Village Stores and a Spa shop both of which currently have extensive expansion plans. A coffee shop opened in the Village Stores in the summer of 2011. A number of restaurants and pubs offer a range of dining options including The Seacroft, The Waterfront and The Trearddur Bay Hotel. The long established Trearddur Bay Hotel offers excellent accomodation and range of dining options from the more relaxed "Inn at the Bay" to the smart dining in the hotel's restaurant, it has just undergone a £1 million refurbishment. The Bay Cafe is located on the Holyhead hill.

On the left of Trearddur Bay as you look out to sea is the Ravenspoint Road which snakes past the Trearddur Bay Sailing Club's flagstaff and a number of smaller bays including Lifeboat Bay, Porth Diana and its boat park, (owned by the Trearddur Bay Sailing Club) and Porth-y-Castell. The Seacroft pub, a firm favourite with holidaymakers and locals alike is on the right and further on is the Diving Services shop - 01407 860 318 which caters for most people's requirements and sells armbands and icecreams through to the essential yachtie's oilskins and sailing jackets. Ravenspoint Road leads on up to the headland. The views up here are inspiring to say the least, a panorama from Rhoscolyn, with Snowdonia as the back drop and across the sea to the mainland and the Lleyn peninsula. Rhoscolyn can be reached from Trearddur Bay along Anglesey's coastal path. This headland area is where a number of Resorts & Retreats' Trearddur Bay holiday cottages are located including Hafod, Whitehill & Innisfree. At the end of the Road is access to The Lee and Bagnol caravan sites.

The Lifeboat station is on the right of the Main Bay as you look out to sea. The inshore Lifeboat is taken for a test run every Sunday morning and the Lifeboat racing out to sea is a particularly enthralling sight. On February 24th, 2011 the now Duke and Duchess of Cambridge launched a new lifeboat, The Hereford Endeavour, in Trearddur Bay.

The Treaddur Bay hotel is visible beyond the Lifeboat station, as the road follows the coast, beyond the hotel, it's impossible to miss the impressive Craig-y-Mor house, a private home built in the early 1900s. Keep following the road as it runs along the awe inspiring craggy coast, past Porth Dafych and Porth y Post riding stables, Blackthorn Farm a B&B and Caravan Park and all the way to South Stack Lighthouse and Holyhead mountain, both of which are a must to visit.
