Worried - A Respnse For You by: Wil from Anglesey Hidden Gem
Dear Anonymous
Please don't be worried.
Rhosneigr is one of Anglesey's wonderful beach villages that has been receiving a make-over in the last few years.
The only problem that I personally have with Rhosneigr village beach is just how ridiculously busy it can get in fine weather. It's the boats that are parked at the very top of the beach that sort of mess the lace up.
But they bring in most of the money into the village. Sooo ....
There was a proposal to create a boat parking area on the south end of the beach - sadly this has come to naught.
There's a great local group who are developing the village gradually and very well. Hopefully, the beach parking of boats will eventually be sorted.
If it's too busy then I head north for Crigyll Beach (200 yards away to the north) or just walk through the village to Broad Beach.
With an ice-cream in hand, if you head toward either of these beaches for a bit of sandcastle building, sunbathing and safe splashing then you'll arrive still eating the same ice-cream. That close!
In fine weather the village beach can get a bit too noisy during the afternoons. Mornings and evenings, it is a delight.
Crigyll Beach and Broad Beach back onto sand dunes and the beaches are wide, long and flat. The latter beach is a favourite with families with very young children. They can run and excite themselves into Mummy and Daddy pleasing exhaustion.
Rhosneigr village beach is brilliant sand and black rocks. The other Rhosneigr beaches are just sand.
One of my favourite walks on the whole of Anglesey is from Cable Bay to the village beach, grab an ice-cream and head back.
I love it. But would choose to enjoy my beach activities on Broad Beach because it always allows you space for privacy.
I love this place. I am equally certain that once you've been here you'll keep coming back.
Your children will have some of the best memories of their childhood formed here.
Stop worrying and just start packing.
My best regards to you and your family.
Please do let me know how it goes.
Confidently yours,
Wil

Worried! by: Anonymous
Hi Wil
I and my family have recently booked a holiday in Rhosneigr for the first time. We are - or rather WERE really looking forward to our holiday.
However, having just read the comments about the noise, detritus etc., I'm feeling rather concerned that this isn't going to be the relaxing holiday we had anticipated!
Has anybody got any positive comments to make as we are staying in a house that backs on to the beach?

Rhosneigr Beach by: Wil
Dear Eileen
I've been making enquiries on your behalf and come up with a few local Rhosneigr views that agree with yours.
The immediate village beach does indeed become very packed with trailers and vehicles in high Summer. Many locals dislike the situation as much as you do.
The project I mentioned about building a boatpool on the corner between village and Broad Beach now seems to be a very good idea. It pays to ask questions, otherwise opinions can become regarded as facts.
A concrete area to hold boats and trailers would mean that the owners would have a safe place on land and away from stormy weather overnight.
I understand that they used to have a serious problems with boats on the beach, roadside and verge at Porth Diana, Trearddur Bay. You go there today and you'll find it a very tidy area with boats kept safe at all times.
Building such a boat pool at Rhosneigr has the intention of delivering a simlar solution. Many of the trailers and boats would be taken off the beach and clear it up once again.
As I mentioned in another message there appears to be some opposition. As I also wrote - incorrectly - it might be part of a piecemeal plan. It's not. It's a very good idea and I hope that it is realised.
Beaches are for sunhats, screaming children, splashing, sandcastles and, most important of all, peaceful ice cream ingestion.
