Mae gennym ambell le ar ôl ar ein Cwrs Caiacio Môr Darganfod 2-Ddiwrnod, sy’n cael ei gynnal ar 5 a 6 Medi.
P’un ai nad ydych erioed wedi dal padl o’r blaen, neu os ydych am feithrin eich hyder ar y môr, mae’r penwythnos hwn wedi’i gynllunio’n arbennig ar eich cyfer chi. Byddwch yn dysgu technegau p***o hanfodol, sut i reoli’r cwch, hanfodion diogelwch, a sut i ddarllen y dŵr — dan arweiniad ein hyfforddwr arbenigol, Giles.

Croeso i’r byd dŵr eithaf.💙
Welcome to the ultimate water world.💙

Mae onglau fel hyn yn eich gwneud chi'n sylweddoli pam fod Plas Menai mor arbennig. Glas troellog, golau haf euraidd, banciau tywod a cychod. Prawf mai natur o hyd yw artist mwyaf y byd. Arhoswch gyda ni dros yr haf hwn a phrofwch ef drosoch eich hun.

Angles like this make you realise why Plas Menai is so special. Swirling blues, golden summer light, sand banks and boats. Proof that nature is still the world's greatest artist. Stay with us this summer and experience it for yourself.

Mae gwaith tîm yn gwireddu’r freuddwyd ac yn cadw ein morliniau’n lân! 🌊💙
Ymunodd ein tîm yn ddiweddar â Ymddiriedolaeth Afonydd Gogledd Cymru i gasglu sbwriel ar hyd glannau hardd Afon Menai. Mae gadael y lle anhygoel hwn ychydig yn lanach nag y daethom o hyd iddo ddim ond yn un ffordd rydym yn dangos ein gwerthfawrogiad o’n hamgylchedd lleol.
Carahwch y lle rydych chi’n byw ynddo. 🌿✨

Teamwork makes the dream work and keeps our coastlines clean! 🌊💙
We recently teamed up with the North Wales Rivers Trust for a litter pick along the beautiful banks of the Menai Strait. Leaving this incredible spot a little cleaner than we found it is just one way we show appreciation for our local environment.
Love where you live. 🌿✨
