Pentraeth is a village on the isle of Anglesey (Ynys M�n), north Wales, at grid reference SH523786. The Royal Mail postcode begins LL75.
Its Welsh name means at the end of (or head of) a beach, and it is located near Traeth Coch (Red Wharf Bay). Its ancient name was Llanfair Betws Geraint. In 1170 it was the site of a battle when Hywel ab Owain Gwynedd landed with an army raised in Ireland in an attempt to claim a share of the kingdom of Gwynedd following the death of his father Owain Gwynedd. He was defeated and killed here by the forces of his half brothers Dafydd ab Owain Gwynedd and Rhodri.
In 1859, Charles Dickens stayed in the village on his trip, as a journalist for The Times to visit the wreck of the Royal Charter in Moelfre.
The village also has a football side, Pentraeth F.C. who operate in the Anglesey League, and won the Megan Cup in 2005/06.
