Abermenai Point

The headland is mainly composed of sand dunes at the end of Newborough Warren and has no road leading up to or onto it.

[1] Due to its exposed location and the nature of the straits the Ordnance Survey map for the point carries a warning "Public Rights of Way to Abermenai Point can be dangerous under tidal conditions."

The earliest recorded ferry crossing route from the island to the mainland ran from the point to the site at which Fort Belan now sits.

On Gruffudd ap Cynan's death in 1137, the income from the port of Abermenai was inherited by his wife Angharad ferch Owain.

[3] In 1725, Daniel Defoe, the author of novels such as "Robinson Crusoe" used the crossing on his way to Holyhead.
