Coastal lagoon overlooked by bird-hide with disabled access providing views of waders and ducks on reserve and Traeth Lafan.
The reserve can be approached from Bangor by following the Tal-y-Bont road from the roundabout on the A5122 near the Penrhyn Castle entrance. The road to the reserve is signposted on the left hand side after 1km. The reserve can also be approached from a road at Junction 12 off the A55. The minor road leads to a car park. Walk back down the road towards the entrances to the reserve. Please use caution in doing so.
It is possible to access the reserve from the car park by walking along the shingle beach. This is uneven, difficult walking and affected by tides. Using this route can disturb birds on the estuary and affect the enjoyment of the site by others.
There is a drop-off point at the main reserve entrance for less-abled visitors. However caution should be used as this area is used as a turning area by farm vehicles.
