Overview

Red Wharf Bay is a huge bay on the east coast of Anglesey, which almost completely empties at low tide revealing kilometres of sand. Facing east, the bay works in east and north-east winds. Very shallow body of water ideal for learning at high tide. Caution: the tide comes in very fast on this flat bay.
