About Llanfairfechan Beach

Llanfairfechan's beach is mostly pebbles at high tide, with a huge sweep of sand opening out towards the Menai Strait and Anglesey as the tide drops. It sits a few miles west of Morfa Conwy. Visitors' reviews regularly mention it as a good spot for shells and sea glass.

Sea glass at Llanfairfechan Beach

Collectors report white, green, amber, seafoam and soft blue here, and Tripadvisor reviewers (including one in October 2024) mention lots of sea glass. Look along the pebble band; low tide means a very long walk to the water.

Visiting Llanfairfechan Beach

Safety
Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
