West Mouse

West Mouse

West Mouse (Welsh "Maen y Bugael") is an islet lying 1.1 kilometres off the north-east coast of Anglesey, Wales. Its maximum dimensions are 92 metres long by 82 metres wide, with an area of 1.2 acres.

It is located in an area of notoriously strong tides. Because of this, at least three shipwrecks lie near it, making it a popular diving location. There is now a white beacon on the island which is used as a navigational aid if lined up with two other beacons, one on the Anglesey mainland and another on Coal Rock, an islet a mile and a half north. The area also host to species such as hornwrack, sea squirts and conger eels. The island is part of a set of three spread out along the north coast of Anglesey. The other two islands are East Mouse and Middle Mouse.
