TOP OF CHAPTER
Rhosneigr
Rhosneigr's long sandy beach may not be Anglesey's safest but it's one of its most beauti-
ful. The large village sits between the beach and a small lake, and it has the rare advantage
of having its own functioning train station - all of which conspire to make it one of the
most desirable addresses in Anglesey. It's also the island's best surfing spot.
