The beach is characterised by a small stretch of shingle and rock, set within the harbour formed by the large breakwater. It is backed by a promenade that runs from the Holyhead Maritime Museum to the sailing club, with a large grassy area situated behind. The beach's location makes it easily accessible, being within a few minutes' walk of the town centre.
The beach has been a popular spot for locals, offering various activities such as dog-walking, rock pooling, and swimming. Its proximity to the Holyhead Maritime Museum and the sailing club also makes it an attractive location for those interested in watersports.
However, the beach's future is currently uncertain due to a proposed major waterfront residential development.
Holyhead Beach is adjacent to the Anglesey Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
