Ynys Llanddwyn

A small tidal island named Ynys Llanddwyn is located off the northwest Welsh island of Anglesey. The village of Newborough is the closest community. The pillow lava, jasper formations, and aeolian sand deposits on the island are of geological importance. The island is a part of the vast and botanically diverse sand dune system known as Newborough Warren National Nature Reserve.

The tidal island of Ynys Llanddwyn is still connected to the mainland except during high tide. Views of Snowdonia and the Lln Peninsula are available. The Menai Strait's western entrance is marked by the Tr Mawr lighthouse. 478,204 people visited the Newborough National Nature Reserve & Forest in 2018, which includes Ynys Llanddwyn. Ynys Llanddwyn and Newborough Warren are connected by more than 16 km of footpaths, including the Anglesey Coastal Path, and are particularly popular tourist destinations. After a mile-long walk along the beach from the closest parking lot, the island offers a worthwhile destination. In appreciation of the cleanliness of the sea and beaches, Ynys Llanddwyn and the nearby beach have received the Blue Flag designation.
