Traeth Bach, Cemaes Bay

What Seaglassmap found here

Traeth Bach is the little beach at Cemaes, on the west side of the bay across the Afon Wygyr from the bigger, sandier Traeth Mawr. It is sand with a shingle top and rock at either end, which is the ground glass settles into, and it sits right off the coast road with the village car park a couple of minutes behind it. Cemaes is the most northerly village in Wales and its harbour did real work: it shipped out china clay, bricks and ochre and brought in everything a rural district could not make for itself, on top of a herring trade and a shipbuilding yard turning out vessels of up to four hundred tons in the 1830s. That is the kind of small busy port that leaves glass in a bay for a century afterwards. Collectors have been saying so for years. A visitor in 2019 called it beach glass heaven, another came for sea glass and shells in 2024, and a collector working the bay in August 2026 came away with white, green and amber, a few dark olive pieces, a couple of blue shards and a first piece of black. Work the shingle line as the tide drops, then the rockpools at either end once it is properly out.
