Explore two centuries of RNLI lifeboat history, heroic rescues, and the enduring tradition of saving lives at sea.
On the south-west corner of Holy Island, just south of Holyhead, Trearddur Bay runs a fast Atlantic 85 and a D-class, covering a popular seaside coast of coves, cliffs and fast tides. The RNLI established the station in 1967.
As the RNLI placed fast inshore lifeboats around the coast in the 1960s in response to growing leisure use of the water, a station was established at Trearddur Bay in May 1967, on the opposite, south-west corner of Holy Island from the major all-weather station at Holyhead.
Trearddur Bay is a busy seaside resort, its sandy bay and rocky coves popular with swimmers, divers, kayakers and small craft — but the same coast has strong tides and exposed water that regularly catch people out.
The station grew from a single inshore boat to a two-boat station, now running an Atlantic 85 alongside a D-class, able to cover both the open water off Holy Island and the close-in coves and cliffs. It works alongside the neighbouring Holyhead lifeboats, and with the beach lifeguards in summer.
