Health Benefits of a Holiday by the Sea

As a campsite and caravan park within walking distance of Lligwy Beach on Anglesey we wanted to find out what the sea could really offer our guests.

When you hear the word “holiday”, a majority of people will picture crystal blue waters, golden sands that you dig your toes into, and stunning views – all of which Anglesey has to offer.

With a bit of research and intrigue; we have compiled a list of the health benefits of holidaying with us on the coast of North Wales.

Boost Mental Health

According to Dr Matthew White, watching the ebb and flow of waves can create a calming effect within the brain which can reduce the focus on an individuals anxiety and depression, and allow them to focus on the external environment around them. Another study showed that simply having a view of the sea could help improve a persons mood and reduce their heart rate.

More Likely to Exercise

Holidaying by the coast means being surrounded by vast landscape that is itching to be explored which results in increased physical activity. Tyddyn Isaf Camping and Caravan Park is located close to the coastal footpath which means our guests can access it on foot and visit the nearest fishing village of Moelfre or the town of Amlwch. We also have a state of the art gym here at Tyddyn Isaf, that offers the most inspiring views of Lligwy Bay that will be sure to keep you motivated throughout your fitness regime.

Happiness is Greater

In a study about happiness in natural environments, it concluded that people were substantially happier in a natural marine and coastal environment compared to that of an urban environment. Another study found that there is a positive physiological response to immersing yourself in cold sea water which significantly increases your dopamine levels (‘happy hormones’) by over 200%.

Anglesey has some of the best and most beautiful beaches in the UK with some being awarded the Blue Flag. Tyddyn Isaf Caravan Park is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and overlooks Lligwy Bay which is a perfect location for kayaking or paddle boarding on Anglesey.
