A visit to the South Stack in Angelsey can be for many reasons but I will try and outline a few reasons that attract me to return time after time. Situated on the Isle of Angelsey ("Ynys Mon"), Holy Island which is the far north is home to some of most stunning sunsets on offer.

To get to the Sth Stack you need to get onto the A55 in North Wales and head out West for Holyhead.

Nature
If you are a keen lover of nature there are a collection of visitors and year long residents that will tempt even the most avid of enthusiasts to try and get a view or a snap for their collection.
The RSPB Cafe offers refreshments and toilet facilities and also there are RSPB Staff on hand to answer questions and offer advice about what to expect when visiting the wildlife that resides on the cliffs and moorlands at the stack. There are mounted cameras in strategic points which are visible on a large TV screen in the shop.
History
Also there are the remains of about twenty dry-stone-built huts and associated field systems, belonging to a series of prehistoric and later farmsteads. Admission is free and open all year round apart from days specified in their heritage site.
The Stone Circle Huts are situated on the hillside opposite the South Stack. Suitable footwear advisable.
Water Sports and Beach
Kayaking, Fishing, Rock Climbing and Coasteering are but a few of the pastimes to be had at the beautiful beach at Porth Dafarch which is a very short drive from the Sth Stack, Parking is available but in peak season it will be busy and there is no over night but you can retreat back to the Stack for a quiet drink, discuss the day with friends and enjoy the view.
