Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were told to visit this beach whilst visiting North Wales on recommendation from a friend. We were not disappointed. This is such a lovely beach with a pine forest behind with various ability walks and is suitable for people of all ages inc young families/ teens. Dogs are allowed on the beach and according to the sign as you walk on to the beach they are supposed to be kept to the left side, however nobody was sticking to these rules and were just going where they wanted but most people kept them on leads. Even when the beach got busier around midday it never felt crowded. There are toilets in the car park that are cleaned regularly. The Car Park is a decent size and when we arrived at 10am there was hardly anyone parked up but soon filled up and was full by lunchtime. Parking is £2.00 for 2hrs and 40p for every 20mins after that. The maximum daily charge is £7.00. We arrived at 10 and left at 3.30 and was charged £7.00. The only negative point was paying for the parking, this is done at a machine at the exit barrier and caused a massive queue to leave as people searched for change or used a card. It would make more sense to have the payment machine in the car park like in other forests we have visited to avoid queues at the exit.

Lovely walk on a beautiful beach. It is aleways very popular at any time of the year but weekends in particular. Little word of warning about the car park. Last year they had an attendant and it was £5 irrespective of how long you stayed. This year it is camera controlled, pay on exit. It is £2 for the first 2 hours and 40p for every subsequent 20 minutes, maximum charge £7. When we exited the barrier was up giving the impression to some people that there was no charge. We stopped and checked the machine and in very small writing it said that we owed £2 40p, very reasonable. Some people may be tempted to go through without paying and may then recive a fine. There may be good reasons for it but they seem to be missing a good opportunity to make a fortune if there was somewhere to get a coffee and a snack.

This is an island but accessible on foot except for high tides. There are great views and a number of historical sites on the island. There are lots of little coves along the shores of the island, for a swim or a paddle. The nearest car park is the beach car-park at Newborough Warren, there are trails through the pine woods on the dunes or you can walk along the beach. Perfect for a day out with a picnic.

Spent everyday of our camping trip coming to the beech. So much more to do around the beech if it's the miles of forest and nature reserve walks, a visit to the island of the blessed or just a day in the sea. Large carpark nestled in the reserve 5 minutes drive from Newborough, pay on exit at barrier. Another smaller carpark a little further down the coast set back in the nature reserve at Llyn Rhos about a 40 min walk through reserve to the beach, toilet and refreshments on large carpark.

Was quite a walkthrough the forest to get to the lighthouse but it is well worth it. Remember to take a drink and snack or picnic. The views are stunning . There is a lot to see in such a small area. We walked back along the beach to the car park which can be a bit wet and soggy. We took our sandals off and walked along the edge of the sea. Very refreshing after a long walk. The car park charges are sorted on the way out as your registration is recorded when you enter. Not dear though. Wonderful for children to explore and a nice place for a swim on a nice day. Great for dogs as well. Just remember to bring you rubbish home or put it in a bin on the car park.

Wow!! What a find this was, we had ventured to find the Twr Mawr lighthouse on Llanddwyn Island, and hadn't realised you come through Newborough Forest to gain access to the beach, such beautiful surroundings, so drive through the reserve to the car park and then you see the forest of firs and the onto the beach, and can walk to the island with 2 lighthouses on and the old church ruins, just jaw dropping all of it. Toilets in the car park, 2pd to park for 2 hours then 40p for each additional 20mins, up to max 7pd, you could depend hours here.

We visited this place in October but the weather was fair and sunny and the walk was unforgettable. The beach stones are many and unique. The beach leads to an ancient chapel and lighthouse. The water was arm enough to wade in and clear as well. One of the best beaches on Angelesey.

This is such a gorgeous beach to visit, especially on a hot sunny day! This is the first beach I've ever been too which is right next to a woodland forest so it was special.
They are closing the park at 5pm at the moment due to Covid so keep that in mind when you visit. You can stay till after 5 but you need to have entered before. It's lovely because by sunset time we nearly had the whole place to ourselves!
Its £5 entry but the carpark is free.

Lovely beach, varied routes to walk some of which have seasonal dog restrictions. Car park is ANPR and pay on exit. £2 for first 2 hours, max £7 for the day. Open toilets and an ice cream van but no other food/drink options when we visited
Lighthouse is cut off at high tide for a short time if you don't want to get wet!

This place is beautiful.
Long stretches of sand, and extremely interesting buildings at the lighthouse peninsula. Across the sea is the backdrop of Snowdonia and the mountains. It is one of the most attractive beaches I have ever been to.
There are toilets at the barrier controlled car park but no food or drink outlets so bring your own and take it home!
5/5 : a great place to say you've been to!

Hi, can someone please advise? What’s the easiest way to get to a good view point of Llandwyn island/ light house? I don’t need to get out on the island just want a stunning view of the island and beach. Also want an as easy as possible walk there as my elderly parents are coming with me.
Written 23 April 2023
It's not easy to get to the lighthouse as its on the end of the beach on a peninsula.
You can park very easily at the Newborough/Llandwyn Nature centre car park. There are also lovely walks around the forest area
There are toilets at the car park
Hope it helps

Cab you tell me the Car park address please for my Sat Nav for this Coastal Walk and also is it anywhere near to the Marramm Grass Cafe? Thank you in advance
Written 18 January 2020
Past Marram Grass on your left and take the road to Newborough at the next roundabout. In Newborough centre there is a crossroad. Turn left westwards and just keep going. Need £4 to get in to car park☹️

What are the roads like in and around Newborough Anglesey please? Are they narrow /steep or easy access, and also access down to the beach. Thanks
Written 12 January 2020
Roads no problem around Newborough and Anglesy you wont find a duel carriageway once off the A55 but roads can become a bit clogged in the summer.The rd down to the beach is a single lane with £5 toll at the begining the only time there is a problem is when a car comes from the opposite direction but there are passing points.Dont let the roads put you off well worth a visit.
