Church Bay Beach (aka Porth Swtan)
Church Bay also known as Porth Swtan, is a small rock/pebble/sand mixed beach, located on the north coast of Anglesey, facing west and overlooking Holyhead.
The bay is so named Church Bay because of the nearby Llanrhuddlad church which is visible from the sea.
Can have some useful surf more suited to bodyboarders and is also a great place for walkers, birdwatchers and wildlife watchers alike.
Some good seafood restaurants nearby.
