Ynys Llanddwyn is a tidal island at the western end of Llanddwyn Beach, accessible on foot at low tide. The island is steeped in history, featuring the ruins of a 16th-century church dedicated to St. Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers. A distinctive lighthouse, built in 1873, stands as a landmark. Visitors can explore the rocky shoreline, discover old pilot cottages, and enjoy panoramic views of the Irish Sea and Snowdonia. The island is a peaceful spot for walking and photography, rich in natural and cultural heritage.
