Overview

Rhosneigr is THE kitesurfing spot of Wales, on the south-west coast of Anglesey. This seaside resort has become the mecca of Welsh kiting thanks to its ideal exposure to south-west winds and its two beaches (Broad Beach and Traeth Crigyll). The water offers varied conditions: waves on the main beach and flat water in the Crigyll lagoon at low tide. Very active kite community with school and shop.
