NeeExtra info
There are no toilets or other facilities here. Although there is good access via narrow metal roads leading to parking, it is off the beaten track. Take a packed lunch and wear sturdy shoes for the walk along the shingle bank. Waterproofs are also advisable as even in dry weather it can be windy. In spring the tern colonies are roped off by the North Wales Wildlife Trust, who monitor them. Often migrants shelter here , in 2021 a long staying elegant tern was present for several weeks. The walk along the various headlands however, is much easier giving excellent views across the bay, good for seal watching. The grassy headland is also good for butterflies , flora and insects.
