You will discover the fine Anglesey seaside village of Rhosneigr on the south west side of this pleasant island. Popular with surfers and dinghy sailors, it has some fantastic sandy beaches and coastal views. It’s fair to say that this resort on the gentle southern coastal strip of Anglesey has changed drastically for the better over recent years. This place has definitely recaptured its former bustling energy and vibrancy as a quaint seaside village offering a wide choice of self-catering vacation properties.
However, don’t feel that you need to bring absolutely everything with you when you choose to visit the island, whether by car or train. So before you get here, you want to know what the area offers in terms of services and facilities, such as restaurants, cafes and shops. Not only do we have big supermarkets we have plenty of country shops and post offices that will sell you everything, from stamps to swimming costumes to chocolate bars.
A look at the services on offer to you during your stay at Rhosneigr will reassure you that the resort and its beaches are suitable. Firstly, for those coming to the island by road the nearest petrol station is in Gwalchmai village on the old A5 road. To get there take the A4080 back to the A55 expressway, go through Engedi and cross over the dual carriageway to the A5 Junction.
For visitors coming to the island by train you will be delighted to know you can get off at Rhosneigr station, and then you can get to the village within 15 to 20 minutes walking. As you make your way along the lane, just look right and you’ll see walk the local golf course and RAF Valley and civil airport and some caravan parks on your left. Please note there is a train which stops at all the small stations across the island and you may find that changing at Bangor is best, unless you want to get to Holyhead Port.
In the village square you will find the Post Office which is combined with the Spar convenience store, which offers a wide range of provisions, and so now we look at the local cafes, shops and restaurants. Get yourself along to The Bali Hi Chip Shop if you would like to taste some great fish and chips with a local flavour. A short walk away from here on the high street you will find the Bee-Bees caf, a friendly little cafe with light snacks, and some truly remarkable, multi-flavoured local ice creams.
You may want to get along to Sullivan’s Restaurant where you can have some comfy light meals, cold drinks, cakes and teas, just the energy boost after a day out kayaking, surfing, swimming or sailing your dinghy in the bay. Conveniently, there is a launderette at the rear of this restaurant, and it opens 6 days a week between 9 am and 6 pm. For early risers get yourself along to Glan Neigr Pub from 7 am if you like early breakfast or perhaps light meals later. Imagine you could enjoy an early morning run along the sandy expanses and return for a full English breakfast. For those of you who enjoy seafood not least fresh lobster you may want to try Sandy’s Bistro, open all year round with a fully licensed restaurant, also offering Welsh beef and fresh local produce. If you would like to experience some real ales and home-made food try Tafarn Y Morfa, near the village square.
On the village square, opposite the convenience store is Rhosneigr Fat Face, selling designer clothes and accessories, popular with visitors in summer season, while at the bottom of the Beach Road is The Funsport Shop, offering windsurfing and kite-surfing equipment and instruction. Pop along to Mojo’s, the village bakery and creperie, and enjoy a continental style breakfast, or for crepes and savoury galettes for later.
