Penrhos Coastal Park (Beddmanarch Bay side)
Anglesey
Penrhos Coastal Park wraps around the Beddmanarch Bay side of the Penrhos headland on Anglesey, combining coastal walking with woodland trails and open parkland in a single outing. The beach section offers a sheltered sandy and rocky shore with notably calm water, while the park behind provides shaded woodland paths and grassy areas that break up the walk with different terrain and habitats. This variety makes it particularly well suited to dogs who get restless on pure beach walks.
Dogs are welcome year-round on this versatile dog friendly beach, and the sheltered bay means calm water conditions at virtually all tide states. The mix of sand, rock, woodland, and grassland provides diverse scenting opportunities and keeps the walk engaging throughout. Water-loving dogs will appreciate the gentle access to the bay, while those who prefer dry land can stick to the park trails. The contained nature of the coastal park means you can loop back to the car park without retracing your steps.
