What is coasteering?
As a combination of mountaineering and orienteering, coasteering Anglesey is an activity that takes place right along the Welsh coastlines in the UK. The sport typically encompasses activities such as low-level climbing, sea swimming, rapid riding, traversing, and ledge leaping.
Why choose Anglesey as a coasteering spot?
Anglesey is rapidly becoming one of the UK’s hotspots for coasteering in Wales– and for good reason. It’s a stunningly picturesque spot, surrounded by deep blue seas and rocky cliffs. It’s a complete recipe for the coasteering dream.
Each provider will offer their own unique route or package deal, when Coasteering Anglesey, so it’s worth enquiring around to find the one that best suits you. Some providers do wish to keep their routes a secret, but this usually means that their course is simply filled with the best spots there possibly can be! It also adds an air of mystery to your day.
Of course, coasteering is a sport subject to the weather conditions of the island, as instructors will never put you in danger. Many providers do have alternatives lined up if one part of your day is unable to go ahead due to strong winds or choppy waters, so you’ll still have a day of fun.

Gogarth Sea Cliffs
Also known as the sea cliffs of Gogarth, the Gogarth sea cliffs are situated on the western tip of Anglesey. Also popular with rock climbers and sea cliff climbers, the Gogarth sea cliffs are often a popular choice for coasteerers due to its height and sense of adventure.
