About

Situated at picturesque Newry Beach, the museum is a fascinating family experience. Take a step back in time at the oldest lifeboat station in Wales. Learn about shipwrecks, gallant rescues and pirates. Find out what it was like to sail on the Irish Sea 100 years ago. Visit our WW2 Air Raid Shelter and marvel at our collection of WW1 and WW2 memorabilia. You can even test out our authentic Air Raid Siren! Set alongside the Anglesey Coastal Path, our Accredited Museum has wheelchair access, disabled toilet, a well stocked gift and bookshop, very knowledgeable museum guides, free WiFi and a highly recommended cafe/licensed restaurant, the Harbour Front Bistro.

Great food, very friendly staff

This cafe is very popular and we recommend booking in advance where possible otherwise you may have to sit outside - it can be breezy but fleece blankets are provided. The food is terrific including local fresh dressed crab and a home made 'local catch' fish soup which comes with an optional slug of sherry and brandy infused peppers - delicious! Very friendly staff, the disabled parking is slightly undulating for lifts but doable. The cafe is on the beach which is handy for dogs.
