- Explorer03058366854Manchester, United Kingdom2 contributionsChristmas HolidayBenllech is a charming seaside town that offers various local amenities. We had the pleasure of staying in a lovely rental accommodation, which was just a short distance from the beach. To add to the holiday cheer, we had a beautifully decorated Christmas tree inside. Crystal, the owner of the rental, was an excellent host. She came to check on us whenever we called and ensured that the heating was just right. We are grateful to Crystal for providing us with a lovely and welcoming home. During our stay, we visited the Beachcomber Bar and Grill and had a delightful meal. The staff were incredibly polite, attentive, and willing to assist us with anything we needed.Visited December 2023Traveled with familyWritten January 11, 2024
- Derek LOldham, United Kingdom49 contributionsA perfect week of relaxation!Strand Caravan park deserves to be recognised on this review site. Located just off the Village Road in Benllech. Only a small site , but if you are needing a quiet relaxed chilled out place to stay then this is it. Also, it is spotlessly clean every where, including the accommodation. It is also a family run site, they are very helpful if there is anything you need to know. I'd encourage you to check out this jewel of a Caravan park this is our second stay and we'll be back.Visited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 13, 2024
- Amy K7 contributionsLovely little beachLovely little beach. Gets very busy so would recommend getting there early morning if want a space in closesr car park. More space to right when tide in. Toilet facilities and lovely ice cream.Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 26, 2024
- Professor Elodie Rentier Leaf D"Estrange3 contributionsSuch a lovely beachThis is such a lovely beach🏖️🌊🌞and the only beach I can actually access with my powered wheelchair as it has a big ramp, so I felt part of the whole beach experience😊There are very clean public toilets and showers too. Plus lovely cafées with wonderful staff. Advice for fellow wheelchair users, there is a beach wheelchair which can be hired, you need to book in advance, just be aware that you need lots of upper body strength to get out of it, so not for me, but it is brilliant that it is available! ♿💗Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 1, 2024
- J49n3Stockport, United Kingdom10 contributionsNice beach, nice facilities, plenty of parking but watch out for the jellyfishBeach is nice with nice toilet facilities. Plenty if parking as there is an overflow carpark. Dog friendly on half the beach during summer months. Only thing would point out which is unavoidable is that every time we have visited there have been lots of jellyfish to dodgeVisited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 29, 2024
- Tom MBirkenhead, United Kingdom16 contributionsPerfect breakI thought bennlech was lovely and in all the places we visited, staff were fab. Bay cafe on the front is a gem. Beachcomber restaurant was excellent as was the Rasoi Indian an the bennlech pub. Given best available seats everywhere we went and a warm welcome. Hafod cottage through sykes was excellent too. Everything faultless.Visited September 2024Traveled with familyWritten September 26, 2024

Soooo many dogs off their leads… so many not being controlled… so much dog poo.
And all this on a beach that quite clearly states no dogs!!! The locals and the visitors clearly don’t care!! And neither does the dog warden. After a man (he pays his taxes so he can let the dogs use the beach as a toilet) let’s his dogs descend on our family and our food , we ring the council but the dog warden is nowhere to be seen for the next 3 hours.
Shame really, but if you’re expecting a safe, clean, dog poo free beach this is not the beach for you, and the council don’t give a jot!!

A small bay but a lovely beach. A steep drive down to the beach but there is plenty of parking. If you are only stopping a short while then parking on the road is free. There are public toilets in the pay and display car park. There is a cafe and when we were there a kiosk selling delicious whippy ice cream. Opposite the beach is a grassy area with picnic tables overlooking the bay.

A nice beach with a nice area to enjoy the sea and sandy beach. Nice facilities very accessible from the beach, parking in the car park for the day is expensive. Worth a visit if you like a quiet coast.

Lovely beach. Easy access from the car park (there is another overflow car park higher up) Nice cafe/ice cream shop right on the front that sells excellent ice cream and donuts!
During the school summer holidays The Beach Team , a Christian voluntary organisation, have games,songs and stories on the beach during the day and evening activities on Tuesday and Thursdays for families which are always well attended and popular.
Public toilets are in the car park and are adequate. We have been over the past 11 years to Benllech most summers and the toilets let the beach down. I was pleased to see that soap and paper towels were provided this year but the smell in the ladies toilet is awful! The toilets also close between 6-7pm which seems early during the summer holidays as the beach is still busy often up until 9.30. This resulted in us seeing families having to use the bushes which is not great!
It's a great beach though and we will retunr again next summer.

Really nice beach, plenty of room and really clean. Had 3 good days on the beach. Car park adjacent to beach can get busy but there is an overflow 200 metres away. Myself and the youngster had a long walk from Benllech beach to Red wharf bay. Just make sure to check the tide times if walking between these on the beach.

We were staying at the Strand so this was our local beach. It has everything you could wish for cafes, public toilets and a car park with good access for disabled people.
Certain areas are designated for dog walkers and we found the beach to be clean.
When the tide goes out it’s possible to walk past st David’saround the headland to Redwharfe Bay which is approx one and a half miles. If you are unfortunate to get caught out by the rising tide you can use the costal walk way that takes you through St David’s on the coastal path.

Is Benllech hilly? Are the shops cafe's etc near the Beach. We usually stay in Rhosneigr where everything is really close, sea, shops, cafe's Stayed in Beaumaris October and shops cafe,'s are close to Beach too.
If Beach in Benllech is away from shops etc. would there be self catering accommodation in between the sea and shops to stay in, any guidance would be appreciated, I use a stick and can potter about but not great on long walks so situation of self catering is important 😀 Thank You!

Benllech is hilly but there is a gentler way if you follow the road and last time I went, the pavement was very smooth although if I remember rightly, a couple of the kerbs were high - if you go via the cliff coastal pedestrian only path, then it's very hilly and like a walking rollercoaster so best avoided if you struggle as it's very narrow and although there are gates into caravan parks that can get you off the coastal cliff path, those caravan parks are hilly themselves.
There are shops, cafes and toilets very close to the beach and a good ramp down to the beach itself.
I'm not sure if the hotels are still on the front or if there are self-catering units though, although I know that a few years ago, there were some.

Hi I am looking to book a camping trip for my family, I have a 6 and 4 year old so ideally want to stay as close to the beach as possible. I'm looking for a campsite with electric hook ups and allows fires in tge evening if you can recommend any? Thanks
Written May 10, 2017
I'm afraid I can't help you with a recommendation as I haven't stayed at any of the campsites in the area but maybe the Visit Anglesey website might be of some help to you. They are also on Twitter. Or ask Keith at Anglesey socialmedia, he does a lot to promote Anglesey and he can be found on Twitter and Facebook.

My dog has been sick since going to Benllech beach, has anyone else experienced this?
Written March 28, 2016
As far as Im aware the beach is popular for local dog walkers and visitors alike.
What did the vet advise?
