Cemaes Bay

Cemaes

The northernmost village and bay in Wales, with a small harbour and beaches, and a coast path leading near the island’s northernmost point.

Cemaes is the northernmost village in Wales itself, set in a curved bay with a small harbour, two beaches and traditional cottages. In summer it is a good place for paddling and eating fish and chips. Walking east along the Anglesey Coast Path leads to the clifftop chapel at Llanbadrig and coastal views around the Wylfa nuclear power station; heading west reaches the Cemlyn nature reserve, a breeding site for terns. Admission is free; allow 1–2 hours.
