Cemaes Bay Cottages by the Sea

Cemaes Bay’s Sandy Beaches and North Anglesey Coast

Cemaes Bay is a traditional coastal village with two beaches, a small harbour and a selection of shops and cafés. Its beach cottages and coastal holiday homes provide accommodation near the waterfront, including properties overlooking the bay. The village is surrounded by rocky headlands and coastal walking routes, with several historic attractions nearby.

Traeth Mawr, Traeth Bach and Coastal Walks

Cemaes Bay has two main beaches. Traeth Mawr is the larger sandy beach, backed by a promenade with parking, public toilets and cafés nearby. The sheltered bay is popular for family days out, while the harbour is a good place to watch fishing boats and explore the waterfront.

Traeth Bach is a smaller beach on the other side of the harbour, with sand, shingle and rock pools exposed at low tide.

The Wales Coast Path runs along the cliffs in both directions. To the east, walkers can reach Porth Padrig and Llanbadrig Church, with views across the Irish Sea.

Further along the coast, Bull Bay is a small village known for its rocky shoreline and coastal walks. Visitors considering another location nearby can find coastal cottages in Bull Bay.
