Marine Road Beach sits at the western end of the rock and shingle beach adjacent to the centre of Colwyn Bay. The beach is popular for activities such as swimming, water sports, and sailing, with many sailing boats docking along this section of the shore. Being relatively flat, at low tide it is wide and vast, whilst a fairly thin strip of rocks and shingle is left once the tide has come in.
There is plenty of roadside parking along West Promenade, a short walk to the west of the beach. The promenade extends all along the Colwyn Bay beach front offering walking and cycle tracks as well as excellent views of the surrounding coastline. There is a dog ban on the beach from May until September. Dolphins and seals are occasionally spotted in the surf, whilst wading birds are a common sight. The beach can be accessed via a slipway.
It's a great stop for photos and a great cycle path.

Rhos-on-Sea Harbour

Idyllic settings on a nice sunny weathers day. Rhos On Sea harbour is small but worthy of stopping to admire the view

Colwyn Bay Promenade

Highlight • Rest Area

Colwyn Bay is a nice part of the trail to reach. The beaches are sandy, flat and big. Many tourists and walkers are about in this location. The promenade is wide and has enough space for walkers and cyclists
