Cemaes Bay highlights

Cemaes beaches

Traeth Mawr and Traeth Bach sit close to the harbour, with sand, rock pools, shallow water and space for simple beach days.

Anglesey Coastal Path

The coast path passes through Cemaes in both directions. The local circular routes offer cliff views, village lanes and open sea air.

White Lady Beach

Walk east towards Llanbadrig for Porth Padrig and the Ladi Wen, a pale quartzite sea stack known locally as the White Lady.

Wildlife watching

Look out for seabirds, oystercatchers and turnstones around the bay. Cemlyn is a noted tern reserve in summer.

Skerries boat trips

Seasonal coastal cruises and fishing trips from Cemaes may run towards the Skerries when conditions allow, with seals and seabirds often part of the draw.

Cemaes village

Pubs, cafes, small shops and the harbour wall are all close by, making the village easy to enjoy without moving the car.
