Sightseeing
Little coffee shops along the pier and plenty of places to sit and watch the world go by, drop a line over the side or take the kiddies crabbing. Dogs are allowed along the pier also.
Beautiful views all around and it feels like you could just paddle across to Anglesey from here.
Plenty of parking in local streets or there is a small car park.
Entrance to the pier is a few pennies/donation.
Lit up at night too.

Stunning place and lit up at night - walk around the castle walls, climb the ramparts, visit the harbour with a little pub and eateries/coffee wagons, visit the smallest house on the quay.
Best chippy is the Arches, best café for cake is Jesters Tower (who also have entertainment and comedy nights).
Cobbled streets in most areas.
Parking can be had at the side of the high street if you're lucky or there are quite a few parking spots about.
A must see at night too!

Lovely little pub and church, local walks - there is a guide to the walks on a notice board as you enter the village.
From your cottage walk down the driveway and turn right - there is a rough path along the verge to the village which is regularly walked to keep the grass down - takes about 10/15 minutes leisurely walk.
** May 2023 The pub is currently closed awaiting its new owners**

Beautiful, quiet place to sit in the many hides and watch the local wildlife. A few kingfishers, egrets and plenty of other birds to see. Even had a visiting Osprey this summer (2022) which attracted many zoom lenses. Dog friendly beach at the very end which is never crowded, walks up along the coast path, beautiful views across to Anglesey, Puffin Island and Llandudno.

Stunning views - simply a breath-taking place.
A lot of steps down to the lighthouse but worth it for the views and the clifftops just full of nesting birds.
Nice to go of an evening or early morning and watch the sun set or rise before everyone else.

A hidden gem with superb cakes, coffees and meals - the breakfast is outstanding.
We prefer it on a nice day as you can sit at the waters edge, enjoy a meal and watch the boats come up and down the river.

Great food, interesting place packed full of marine/fishing related history. Ice creams to die for!
Best to book in season though as very popular.
Our go to place for lunch before or after visiting South Stack.
Large 'pay to park' car park, next to the beach and promenade.

If you have a hankering for a Chinese meal - eat in or take-away, this is the place. Service is great, décor a little dated but the food is just amazing. Car park (pay at machine) with a path that leads down through the forest to church island - also well worth a visit. Go for an afternoon stroll to get an appetite first!

Not the cheapest in the area but plenty of parking, good service, friendly place. My mum's favourite for her Sunday roast :-)
