Approximate location — this spot is pinned to the nearest village, so the exact point may be a little way off.

Church Bay (Porth Swtan) is a sandy cove on the rugged north-west coast, smaller and quieter than the island’s main resorts. It makes a low-key target for a day by the sea, with a café and the coast path running off either side. Holyhead station is about 9km to the south-west.
