A little gem tucked away on the coastline, surrounded by rocks and cliffs. No crowds or commercial tourism, just a tiny with a Mediterranean feel, or perhaps closer to Cornwall. Well equipped beach, great for some body boarding and coastal walks. Cold shower, toilet and water fountain available. Not that many parking spots but we arrived quite early. One of my favourite beaches in the Uk now after visiting! Thanks for the burger van Licensed to Grill for our surf and turf and lamb burgers- utterly heavenly after a refreshing swim in the sea. 🤩 Porth Dafarch is one of those rare Anglesey beaches that manages to be both peaceful and breathtakingly beautiful, even in peak season. Tucked away between rugged cliffs on the island’s west coast, this small sandy cove feels wonderfully sheltered and unspoilt. The water here is clear and inviting — perfect for swimming, kayaking, or paddleboarding when the tide is right. It’s also a popular launch spot for divers heading out to explore shipwrecks off the coast, though just sitting on the sand watching the waves roll in is equally rewarding. The has good facilities for its size, including toilets and nearby parking (though spaces do fill up quickly on sunny days). RNLI lifeguards operate in the summer months, adding an extra layer of reassurance for families. The coastal views from the surrounding cliffs are spectacular, especially at sunset, when the light dances across the bay. Whether you’re after a quiet morning walk, a picnic spot with a view, or a safe place for a dip in the sea, Porth Dafarch ticks every box. It’s the kind of that captures everything special about Anglesey — wild, welcoming, and full of character. A must-visit for anyone exploring this part of North Wales. Rating: ★★★★★ A stunning, tranquil that perfectly showcases the natural beauty of Anglesey. Lovely little cove! We went on bank holiday monday and though there were lots of families, it still wasnt as crowded as a normal beach! It reminded me of cornish beaches, crystal clear water and beautiful scenery. You could almost imagine you were abroad! As another reviewer said, the does clear out around 5-5:30pm, that was the case when i went too, probably because it got colder and windier and the sun disappeared too. The wind is quite strong closer to the cliffs near the sea so make sure to bring a jumper! There is free parking available on the road right next to the cove. Sheltered bay. Free parking. Great for water sport but check poster for restrictions and regulations. Cold shower head and low foot wash tap always accessible on the back of the toilet block, toilets not always open. Picnic benches with great views. Mostly sandy with some stones. Just perfect. We went a little later in the day and the was pretty empty by then. Only thing to note is the toilets will be locked a little later in the day, so if you need access to those come earlier. Beautiful and great coastline walks. Parking limited but easy out of season. Will visit again as often catching ferry to Dublin. Came across this beautiful cove after calling at South Stack Lighthouse. Enjoyed a short walk on the cliff path and marvelled at the sight of the waves crashing on the rocks. Added benefits of free parking ( it was extremely quiet when we visited on a showery windy Sunday in September) plus public toilets...but these are locked later in the day.
