Jutting 170m out into the Menai Strait is Beaumaris Pier, one of the must-see attractions of Anglesey. Widely regarded as the best place to go crabbing on the island, the pier is a beautiful piece of architecture in its own right and acts as a departure point for numerous pleasure boat trips, including those heading to Puffin Island.
With that in mind, let’s tell you a little more about this pier and explain why it’s well worth a visit.
Beaumaris Pier: A Brief History
Beaumaris pier was first constructed in 1846 and was initially made out of wooden piles and iron girders. The purpose of the pier was to welcome pleasure steamers to drop off and collect passengers to the quaint seaside town of Beaumaris.
However, after significant storm damage, the pier was effectively rebuilt in 1872 into the structure we see today and further extended to its current length in 1895. During the same construction works, a T-shaped pontoon was added to the end of the pier to welcome boats, and a pavilion was installed.
