There’s nowhere better for sailing, wind and kite surfing and generally messing around on the beach than Rhosneigr. The gently sloping beaches with prevailing on-shore winds make this an ideal place for many holiday water sport activities and all under the watchful eye of Prince William and the rest of 22 squadron at the search and rescue base at RAF Valley. 

Sea King helicopters are airborne every day and on weekdays visitors can enjoy the antics of the RAF in their Hawk fast jet trainers.  Occasionally a visiting Typhoon, Tornado or Hercules causes quite a stir; and roar, be warned.

Walkers can enjoy miles of coastal paths and inland walks.  

Bird watchers will enjoy the freshwater habitat of Llyn Maelog and many coastal waders; Roseate terns even nested here last year and the nightly murmuration of starlings over local fields can be spectacular.

If archaeology is your thing the Barclodiad Y Gawres Neolithic burial chamber is an easy walk to the south of the village on the headland by Trescastell beach. The Ty Mawr Hut Circles at South Stack and Bryn Celli Ddu, described as the best passage grave in Wales, are not far by car and also worth a visit.

Many a happy hour can be spent fishing.  And Anglesey’s motor racing track is only a few bays away.

If you don’t fancy an evening stroll to watch spectacular sunsets from the beach rest assured, you can still enjoy them from the comfort of your armchair in Wylfa too.
