Anglesey has more worth seeing than any weekend allows, and most of it isn't signposted from the A55. Explore Anglesey is a guide to 57 places across Ynys Môn — the beaches locals actually use, the walks worth the drive, and the ruins, lighthouses and viewpoints that never make the guidebooks. Buy it once. No subscription, no adverts, no account, and nothing about you is collected. WHAT'S INSIDE - 57 places, each with its Welsh name, directions, parking, facilities and the best time to go - 13 beaches, from Newborough's four miles of sand to coves you'll have to yourself - 12 historical sites — Beaumaris Castle, Bryn Celli Ddu, Din Lligwy, St Cwyfan's church in the sea - 10 coastal walks and 8 scenic drives - 6 hidden gems most visitors drive straight past FINDING SOMEWHERE - Interactive map with every location pinned, satellite or standard view - Quiet Now — filter to the places that won't be crowded - Sunset spots for the golden hour - Filter by beaches, walks, cafés, history and more - Busyness indicator on every place, which you can update yourself PLANNING THE DAY - Save places you like - Build a day across morning, afternoon and evening - Tap Navigate to send any location straight to your maps app MADE FOR THE ISLAND Detail pages work with no signal, so the guide keeps going on the coast road where the bars drop out. 45 of the 57 places are dog friendly and flagged as such. Every photograph is credited to the photographer who took it. Written by someone who lives here.
