A large sandy bay backed by dunes. The large, prominent limestone outcrop of Castell Mawr on the north side of the beach is surrounded by interesting geology and may (but I'm not sure) have some climbing routes on it. The beach itself is a large sandy bay popular with sunbathers and holiday makers in the summer, but largely desserted out of season. Kiting on the beach, kite-surfing and windusrfing are all possible here, with NE winds being onshore. Parking is available behind the dunes and there is a small beach cafe/shop.

This large sandy beach at Red Wharf Bay is very tide dependent and the conditions are generally only safe for intermediate sailors within two hours of low tide. The best conditions are two hours before low tide and N winds as this creates a standing wave effect, which is perfect for jumping. However, this location is not suitable for beginners at any time as there can be rough seas and a lot of sea traffic.
