Porth-y-Cwrogl is a small sheltered cove on the west coast of Holy Island. It is mostly of sand and shingle, and backed by a sea wall. It is approximately 50 yards wide and flanked by rocks and low cliffs of mica-schist which show unusual swirly patterns. The sea water is often crystal clear in summer, making it ideal for swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving.
