ThingsToDoA Beaumaris cruise with room around it →
Book a specific sailing, read its conditions and plan the required early check-in. Leave time for parking, shore facilities and food.
A booked cruise on the Menai Strait or towards Puffin Island / BEAUMARIS
Boat trips from Beaumaris Pier
Choose a cruise for the route and time on the water that appeal to you, whether strait scenery or the coast around Puffin Island. A boat trip can be the main event of a Beaumaris day, with the town left for food and a short walk before or afterwards. Wildlife is a possibility, never a promised checklist.
Before you go
Puffins are seasonal and the operator normally sees them only during the breeding period. Cruises return to Beaumaris without landing on the island, and most seating is outdoors.
The practical details
- Where to find it
- Seaward end of Beaumaris Pier; check-in kiosk near the entrance
Directions and arrival information ↗ - Tickets and booking
- Book an actual sailing and check in thirty minutes before departure as instructed. Allow time for parking queues. Trips are seasonal and weather-dependent; rain alone does not necessarily cancel a sailing, so read the booking conditions.
- Access and getting around
- The pontoon ramp can be steep at low tide and vessel access varies. The operator does not offer full wheelchair access; contact the team with your requirements and read the current boat-specific statement before booking.
Official access information ↗ - Visiting with children
- Choose a duration everyone can manage and bring warm, waterproof clothing even on a bright day. Use shore toilets first and ask about boarding needs for children or prams; do not promise puffin sightings.
