Church Bay is a beautiful bay comprising rocks, pebbles, and sand, situated on the northwest coast of Anglesey. The bay is edged by rock pools and backed by steep cliffs, along which the Isle of Anglesey coastal path runs. A steep footpath from the village leads down to the beach, offering stunning views of the surrounding coastline.
The beach is a popular spot for swimming, sailing, and fishing, and is also known for its excellent water quality. Facilities at the beach include a car park, basic toilet facilities, a restaurant, and a café, which operates on certain days. The restaurant is renowned for its lobster dishes. The beach is largely dog-friendly, although some restrictions apply, and a lifeguard service is available.
The path leading down to the beach is steep and may not be suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. However, the beach offers a range of activities, including swimming, sailing, and fishing, and is a great spot for families, with rock pools to explore at low tide. Visitors can also spot seabirds and choughs in the area.
The beach is named after the nearby St Rhuddlad's Church, which is visible from the beach at low tide. The Isle of Anglesey coastal path runs along the top of the cliffs, offering stunning views of the beach and surrounding coastline. The beach is west-facing, making it a lovely spot for a summer's day out.
Church Bay is adjacent to the Anglesey Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
