Porth y Tywod is a largely sandy beach backed by gently sloping dunes. This largely undeveloped stretch of beach is within easy reach of both Llanfaelog village and nearby Rhosneigr. The beach is a good spot for families and is popular with windsurfers, surfers, and canoeists. It is sometimes referred to as Porth Tyn Tywyn but actually consists of two smaller beaches; Porth y Tywod and Porth Sur.
Another nearby beach is Porth Nobla, a lovely, rural beach located on the coast of Anglesey, between the villages of Rhosneigr and Aberffraw. This sandy beach has cliffs on one side and rocky outcrops that create interesting rock pools to explore.
While Porth Nobla is somewhat remote, it can be accessed via a small parking area near the beach. Facilities are limited, with toilets located about half a mile away; however, more amenities can be found in nearby Rhosneigr or Llanfaelog. The beach is popular for canoeing, swimming, sailing, and scuba diving. It’s also a good location for surfing and bodyboarding, especially during the autumn and winter months when the waves are more robust. Dogs are allowed on the beach year-round.
Llanfaelog village has a selection of shops and restaurants for day trippers and families.
Porth Tyn Beach is adjacent to the Anglesey Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
