Walks and Cycle PathsWalk or cycle down the quiet tree lined lane, passing the ancient church of Trefdraeth to Maalltraeth sands, then follow the well sign-posted path across the estuary to Newburough Warren Nature Reserve. This is a birdwatchers paradise with footpaths through the forest and hides strategically placed, often near the small lakes, from which to observe the wildlife. Look out for the shy red squirrels which thrive on the island. Malltraeth Sands and Estuary The beautiful mile and a half long sandy beach is accessed via a pleasant mile walk. Therefore the dune and forest backed beach is never crowded.

Llanddwyn Island and Newborough This is one of the finest beaches in Britain - long stretches of pristine sands and clean clear waters with dramatic views of Snowdonia across on the mainland. St. Dwynwen, the patron saint of lovers, Wales's own Valentine, roamed these shores in mythology at least! Nevertheless, it is a truly romantic spot - wonder to the little lighthouse at low-tide and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. BeachesAberffraw's sublime beach and estuary are only a short drive away, with the popular resorts of Rhosneigr and Trearddur Bay, further up the coast.
