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.
The bay has a range of facilities, including toilets and free parking, which is located a short walk from the beach. The relatively sheltered location of Porth Eilian makes it an ideal spot for those looking to enjoy water-based activities or simply take in the scenic views.
The bay's popularity with divers can be attributed to its unique underwater environment, which offers a range of marine life and shipwrecks to explore. Visitors can also enjoy sailing, kayaking, and other water-based activities, making it a great destination for those looking for an active holiday.
Amlwch Beach is adjacent to the Anglesey Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
