Plas Menai
Back

Plas Menai enjoys a magnificent location on the Menai Strait, overlooking Anglesey in North Wales. The waters of the Strait are ideal for sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, yachting and powerboating, with easy access to the open sea and superb coastal scenery. Plas Menai is also close to Snowdonia National Park which provides canoeists and mountaineers with access to mountains, crags, rivers and lakes.

Plas Menai is the National Watersports Centre open to all and is a recognized RYA and BCU training centre, In addition to our comprehensive programme of 5 and 2 day adult courses ranging from learning to sail to nine day sea kayaking expeditions, each summer we offer a full programme of youth courses and activity days.

Whether you want to learn something new or want to improve an existing skill we have a course to suit.  So come and take the plunge and see what amazing activities North Wales has to offer.

The centre offers residential and non-residential options, but forget any pre-conceived ideas you may have about outdoor centres. We offer comfortable twin bedded en-suite rooms with flat screen televisions and tea and coffee making facilities with residents receiving breakfast, a packed lunch and evening meals for the duration of their stay.

If you've still got some energy left at the end of the day's activities, there's plenty to see and do in the evening. You can visit the historic walled town of Caernarfon with its majestic castle, take a drive around Snowdonia or discover the unspoilt island of Anglesey. There's also a good selection of nightlife, with pubs and restaurants close by in Bangor and Caernarfon.
