Menai ward encompasses the northern coastline of the Menai Strait, directly facing the island of Anglesey. The area includes the historic town of Caernarfon, dominated by its formidable medieval castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The local economy is closely tied to the waterfront, with a working harbour and marina. The presence of the castle and the scenic Strait Path walkway are central features.
