It has some fantastic sandy beaches and is popular with surfers, dinghy sailors and swimmers.

It is once again a thriving and bustling busy little seaside village with a wide range of self-catering holiday properties that will meet most tastes.

Firstly, for those coming to the island by road the nearest petrol station is in Gwalchmai village on the old A5 road.

As you walk along the road to the right is the local golf course and Anglesey Airport with caravan parks on your left. There is a stopping train across the island and it may be best to change at Bangor, unless you want to end up in Holyhead Port.
Before turning to the local cafes, shops and restaurants, just to mention about the Post Office in the village square, combined with a Spar Grocery which offers a range of food and household provisions. To taste some great fish and chips with a local flavour you must try out The Bali Hi Chip Shop. Not far from here on the High Street you will come across Bee-Bees caf, a quaint, little cafe offering comfortable meals, unusual sweeties and truly some remarkable, multi-flavored local ice creams.
Sullivans Restaurant, also on the Main Street, offers teas, coffees, light snacks and meals, perfect if you’ve been out surfing or sailing all morning. There is also a Launderette at the back, open 6 days a week between 9 am and 6 pm. Just off the main street is the Glan Neigr Pub, which serves food from as early as 7 o’clock onwards. So you could go for a brisk early morning walk across the wide sandy beaches and return for a full English breakfast. You could try Sandy’s Bistro, a fully licensed outlet open all year round, and offering fresh local lobster and fish, as well as Welsh beef and fresh local produce. Near the village square is Tafarn Y Morfa, a pub offering traditional ales and home-made food.
On the village square, opposite the convenience store is Rhosneigr Fat Face, selling designer clothes and accessories, popular with visitors in summer season, while at the bottom of the Beach Road is The Funsport Shop, offering windsurfing and kite-surfing equipment and instruction.
