Traeth Llydan Beach is situated on the west coast of Anglesey, measuring approximately 600 metres in length and facing south into Cymyran Bay. The beach is a horseshoe-shaped stretch of sand sheltered by rocky headlands, with a narrow lane between high grassy banks leading down to the beach. The surrounding land is partly forested, contains Silver Bay Holiday Park, and has areas of farmland, with a Royal Air Force base located to the east.
The beach slopes gently into the waters of the bay and features rock formations at either end, providing ample opportunity for rock pooling at low tide. Facilities are limited to a handful of picnic benches and bins beside a small basic hut, with no lifeguard presence. Dogs are permitted throughout the year. Visitors can access the beach via a narrow lane or by foot along the coast path, with the latter being the only option for those not staying at the nearby holiday village.
The bathing water is located in the Anglesey Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and lies between the Beddmanarch-Cymyran Site of Special Scientific Interest and the Glannau Rhoscolyn Site of Special Scientific Interest. The beach's location and limited access contribute to its uncrowded atmosphere, making it a peaceful spot for those who do manage to visit. However, the tranquillity of the beach can be broken by the take-offs and landings at the neighbouring RAF Valley aerodrome.
Traeth Llydan Beach is adjacent to the Anglesey Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
