Amlwch Beach, also known as Porth Eilian or Llaneillian Beach, is a small rocky bay located at the north-eastern tip of Anglesey. The bay is set near the village of Llaneilian and features a slipway, making it a popular spot for various water-based activities such as sailing, kayaking, and diving. The rocky headland to the east, Trwyn Eilian (Point Lynas), is home to a lighthouse that offers stunning views of the bay and the surrounding coastline. Visitors to the area can also enjoy the local wildlife, including choughs, ravens, and occasionally dolphins or harbour porpoises.
