Moelfre is a village in Anglesey, north Wales, at grid reference SH513864 and on the Anglesey Coastal Path. The Royal Mail postcode begins LL72. It was the site of the wreck in 1859 of the hybrid ship The Royal Charter near the end of its voyage from Australia to Liverpool. The village has a population of 1,129 (2001 census), 502 households and 5% unemployment. There is in the village a post office, a bakery, two fish and chip shops, two pubs and four hotels. Also in the village is "Siop Helen" a wool and souvenir shop. Perhaps the most famous attractions at Moelfre however is the RNLI lifeboat station which is open to the public most of the year and the village harbour.
A short walk along the coastal path is the Consuelo Caravan Site, run by a dedicated husband and wife team. This site is popular as it is right by the large sandy beach Traeth Lligwy, which is a excellent spot for water and beach sports, and the ancient standing stones of Din Lligwy. The village is easily accessible being only 5 minutes from the A5025. The nearest mainline railway stations are in Bangor or Llanfairpwlgwyngyll.
