A picturesque seaside village with a superb beach, Moelfre is well placed as a base to visit some of the island’s finest, unspoilt beaches. Nearby is a 12th century chapel at Lligwy, a 5th century Romano-British village and a burial chamber dating to 3,000 BC. The village has excellent views of Puffin island, the Great Orme at Llandudno and the mountains of Snowdonia. A memorial acts as a reminder of the power of nature – it was here that 452 passengers and crew of a steam clipper met their deaths during a hurricane in 1859.
