The island of Anglesey off the north west coast of Wales has a coastline sprinkled with shingle and sandy beaches. The Northern coast is dramatic and rocky, a haven for seabirds such as the Black Guillemot. There is a RSPB bird reserve on the cliffs of the South Stacks. Other local activities include horse riding, yachting and golf.
