Puffin Island - less than 500 metres off-shore but with a large colony of very friendly seals in the summer. A few will usually 'race' your boat as you paddle along the island and they are VERY inquisitive as a whole.

Directions: A55 Coast Rd, over the A55 bridge over the Menai Straights, first right (A4080) then A545 to Beaumaris.
Start point 1 Gallows Point for those wanting a longer paddle (Sea Kayaks and stronger paddlers 14km paddle)

Start point 2 Trwyn y Penrhyn point for those in general purpose kayaks wanting a shorter distance (8km paddle)
Go through Beaumaris and keep following the coast onto B5109 through Llanfaes then turn right (hidden cross-road and sign!) to Penmon Point. Stop in the 2nd layby as the road meets the sea (before the toll road to penmon point).
