Rhosneigr is a small village on the west coast of Anglesey with a rail station on the Holyhead line, a broad sandy beach and steady wind that makes it one of Wales's better kitesurf and windsurf spots. There is no sightseeing list here: you come for two or three nights of beach, coastal walking and one or two meals, and you need a car or a bike to reach the rest of the island.

Rules in force · 8Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Britain and Ireland ↗Neither the UK nor Ireland is part of Schengen: days spent here do not count towards the 90/180-day Schengen limit, and a Schengen visa does not admit you to either country.
- Britain and Ireland ↗The island of Ireland runs on two currencies: euro in the Republic, pound sterling in Northern Ireland and Great Britain. Carry a card that pays in both without fees.
- Britain and Ireland ↗Both islands drive on the left. Speed limits are in miles per hour in the UK (including Northern Ireland) and in kilometres per hour in the Republic of Ireland.
- United Kingdom ↗Most visitors who do not need a UK visa now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling; this includes EU nationals. Irish citizens are exempt. Check the UK government site for your passport.
- United Kingdom ↗The UK is outside the EU and the Schengen area; a Schengen visa is not valid for the UK.
- United Kingdom ↗Driving is on the left; London has congestion and emissions charges for most vehicles, so do not drive in the city.

Getting around
The village is walkable: station to beach is about 1 km, 12–15 min. Buses 25 (Holyhead, Aberffraw) and 45 (Llangefni) cover the island slowly; the train runs along the coast to Holyhead and inland to Bangor, Llandudno Junction and Crewe. For beaches, the race circuit and Barclodiad y Gawres, a car or a rented bike is the practical choice.
