  • "Nice little cafe/shop (with a toilet) though prices are a bit steep.... £8.25 for 3 single scoop ice cream tubs without a flake!"
  • "We got there really early to watch the sunrise which was well worth the early start! Plenty of parking, no facilities open but that didn't bother us."
  • "Went in the run-up to Christmas so it was very quiet but the lovely cafe was open and did nice coffee."
  • "The beach didn't have much of a nice view either, and it is covered in stones and there isn't a grain of sand in sight."
  • "There is a cafe which is reasonably priced. There are toilets at the cafe for customers only (you have to ask for the key)."
  • "Toilets are closed as is the outdoor seating area, so at present difficult to spend the day there."

Accessibility and Parking

Pros:

  • "You can drive up to the car park and restaurant easily, but from there to the Lighthouse it is very uneven and difficult to navigate for less abled persons."
  • "This is NOT an accessible place, pushchairs, wheelchairs and those with poorer mobility would struggle out of a vehicle."
  • "Great place to relax and explore for a while. Nice little cafe/shop (with a toilet) though prices are a bit steep."
  • "Penmon Point is a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the sun on a calm day. You will need binoculars to see the birds on Puffin Island."
  • "The road is quite a tight one so a confident driver is best but its soooo worth it!!"
  • "Very easily accessible and plan to make it during low tide when you could walk as close as possible to the light house."
  • "A hidden gem Penmon point and lighthouse is just outside Beaumaris and is just a lovely place to visit."

  • "Lovely place. Cafe excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, even to the point that they moved a freezer to enable me to get my motorised wheelchair in the building."
  • "Home from home for us; I've been coming here 42 years, I'm only 42 years old...! Gone are the days when it was a full half-days drive down from Preston, Lancs."
