A quiet, eco-minded campsite two minutes from Borthwen beach and the white-sand coves of Rhoscolyn — prime sea-kayak and paddleboard country, with the Anglesey coast path on the doorstep. On calm days you can paddle out to Rhoscolyn Beacon and the sea arches, and the White Eagle pub is a ten-minute walk. Low-key and well cared for.
