Red Wharf Bay

We picked a dry day but grey day at the beginning of March to walk a short length of the Anglesey coastal path from the beach car park near Pentraeth, #Anglesey to the Ship Inn.

Red Wharf bay or to give its proper name Traeth Coch (Red Beach) is thought to be named after a Viking battle in 1170 that left the beach soaked in blood.

Warning check the tide times before setting off as both the beach car park and the coastal path flood at high tide.

You can find the full route on OS Maps

It’s an easy but sometimes muddy stroll that culminates at the Ship Inn.

We can recommend the food at the Ship Inn especially if you require gluten free food as there are plenty of tasty options.

We had the tasty Dragon Pie and the Seafood Chowder. Both were delicious and we sat outside, under cover with our dogs enjoying the view and the bird life.

We finished off with deserts and for once the gluten free brownie wasn’t an over cooked dried out after thought. It was delicious.

Feeling full we headed back by the same route with our dogs enjoying the freedom of the beach to run around on.

We saw plenty of bird life on the way back and stopped to chat with other friendly walkers. Another enjoyable escape to the wildside.
