Cemaes is a village on the north coast of Anglesey in Wales, sited on Cemaes Bay, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which is partly owned by the National Trust. It is the most northerly village in Wales (excluding the nearby hamlet of Llanbadrig).
The name Cemaes derives from the Welsh word cemais, meaning "bend or loop in a river, inlet of sea, bay".
Cemaes is a fishing port and tourist resort, and is known for its beach. It has a sheltered natural harbour that looks north to the Irish Sea and is the site of an ancient settlement.
Since the Victorian era the picturesque character of Cemaes and the natural beauty of the island have attracted many artists and tourists. Lloyd George used to visit here.
@tramway Thank you-yes I have really enjoyed my holiday on Anglesey. Sunsets most nights, fantastic weather during the day, quiet beaches & wonderful countryside & coastlines.
