Rhosneigr Broad Beach is situated in a bay on the west coast of Anglesey, south of Holyhead, and faces southwest into Caernarfon Bay. The beach is made up of soft sand with some shingle, pebbles, and rock, and is approximately one and a half miles long, edged by sand dunes. The village of Rhosneigr is directly behind the beach, offering a range of facilities including cafes, shops, and a pub.
The beach is a long stretch of flat sand, with dunes running behind it, and rocky outcrops at either end. A small stream flows through the beach, originating from Llyn Maelog, and divides the beach partway along. A bridge across the stream is located in the dunes, providing easy access to both sides of the beach. The beach is popular for a range of water-based activities, including surfing, swimming, boating, kayaking, and snorkelling.
Traeth Llydan, also known as Broad Beach, is one of Rhosneigr's two main beaches, located to the east of the village. It is a smaller beach than neighbouring Traeth Crigyll, but still offers over a mile of golden sands. The sand here is slightly coarser than at Traeth Crigyll, and there are a few rocky outcrops at either end. The beach has a distinctly rural feel, with low dunes and fields behind it.
The southwest area of Rhosneigr and the beach are located in the Anglesey Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, whilst Llyn Maelog is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
The beach is popular for surfing, particularly during the winter and spring seasons, when the waves are at their best. The village of Rhosneigr is just a short walk away, offering plenty of facilities. Dogs are welcome on Traeth Llydan all year round, making it a great place for pet owners to enjoy a day out with their furry friends.
Rhosneigr Broad Beach is adjacent to the Anglesey Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
