Gadlys Coastal Campsite

The salt wind comes straight off the Menai Strait here, carrying the cries of gulls and the faint clank of rigging from the yacht moorings below.

Gadlys suits anyone after coastal camping without the frills — families happy with simple facilities, couples touring Anglesey in a campervan, tenters who'd rather wake to sea views than swim in a pool block. You're on the island's southern edge, where the straits squeeze between Anglesey and the mainland, all tidal races and wooded shoreline. It's proper North Wales coastal country: castle towns within easy reach, the Menai bridges arcing overhead, cliff paths and quiet beaches to explore with or without a dog in tow.

The setup's straightforward — pitches for tents, campervans and caravans, with toilets and showers onsite. Ask about campfires when you arrive, as policies can shift with the season and the weather. Expect a low-key, unpretentious vibe, the kind of site where the location does the talking and you're left to get on with your own kind of coastal trip.
