The Swellies - Anglesey

The Swellies - Tide race between the two suspension bridges.
Directions: A55 Coast Rd, over the A55 bridge over the Menai Straights, first left (A4080). St Marys church track to car park is 150m on your left. Alternatively go under the A55 into Menai Bridge. At the second roundabout just before the Menai suspension bridge take one of the small side streets down and under the bridge. Alternative get ins at Port Dinorwic, Caernarfon and Gallows point in Beaumaris.

Short trip in playboats. Put in at St Marys church next to the statue of Nelson. Paddle between the two bridges playing in the tide around the "Fishermans Cottage" and the "Swellies rock" marked by the yellow post. A nice little grade 1-2 current flows through the arches of Menai bridge (space for 4 cars under the bridge).Tide Atlas of the Straits...**
