Benllech Beach

by sandysmith

Benllech Beach is one of the lovliest beaches on Anglesey - worthy of its European Blue Flag award for 2004. Fine sweeping views of the coast here and facilities are available. The name Benllech may have originated from the Welsh words 'pen' and 'llech' meaning 'head' and 'rock' - a reference to the sedimentary wave-cut platforms to the north. Benllech is ideal for long seaside walks where you can find unusual beach flowers. There is also a cliff path, from Benllech Isaf to the neighbouring village of Moelfre. The beach itself islocated on the A5025 Menai Bridge to Amlwch Road. The beach is sign posted from the A5025.

Red Wharf Bay

by sandysmith

Red Wharf Bay is near Benllech on the northeast coast of Anglesey. Lovely place for walk along the beach or just to enjoy the views and have a drink (better still a full meal) athe Ship Inn here - see restaurant tip for info. The name Red Wharf Bay dates from the 18th century when the bay was an important port - difficult to imagine today as it is such a tranquil place. Records of trading through the port go back to the early 15th century and continue up to the advent of steam power. Small sailing vessels would bring in cargoes from all over the world and many foreign sailors are known to have settled in the area after marrying local girls.Traeth Coch (Red Beach in Welsh) is the older of the two names and, according to some accounts, dates back to a bloody Viking battle that took place here in 1170 and left the beach soaked in blood.
