Porth Lleidiog, also known as Lleidiog Bay, is a small, picturesque bay located on the western coast of the Isle of Anglesey, Wales. This secluded bay is nestled between the villages of Rhosneigr and Aberffraw, and offers visitors a serene and tranquil setting.

The bay is characterized by its golden sandy beach, which stretches for approximately 1.5 kilometers and is backed by low sand dunes and grassy slopes. The crystal-clear waters of the bay are relatively calm, making it a popular spot for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding. The beach is also ideal for sunbathing and picnicking, with ample space for visitors to spread out and enjoy the stunning views of the Irish Sea.

Porth Lleidiog is surrounded by an array of natural beauty, including the rugged cliffs and headlands that frame the bay. These cliffs provide a habitat for a variety of seabirds, including puffins, gulls, and cormorants, making it a popular spot for birdwatching.

Access to Porth Lleidiog is relatively easy, with a small car park available for visitors. There is also a footpath that leads down to the beach, making it accessible for those with limited mobility. While there are no facilities or amenities directly at the bay, the nearby villages of Rhosneigr and Aberffraw offer a range of shops, cafes, and restaurants.

Overall, Porth Lleidiog is a hidden gem on the Isle of Anglesey, offering visitors a peaceful and unspoiled coastal experience with its beautiful beach, stunning cliffs, and abundant wildlife.
