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

A collector pinned white, green, amber, seafoam and soft blue here in 2026, 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.
