Colwyn Bay Beach
Highlight • Viewpoint
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.

Kinmel Bay Beach
Highlight • Viewpoint
Nature lovers should keep a look out for the occasional grey seal which might be spotted bobbing up and down in the water offshore, and the beach is also a good spot for skylarks, kestrel and a variety of wading birds.
Alongside the beach is a narrow promenade which passes the Kinmel Dunes Nature Reserve, which provides a habitat for a number of maritime plants including sea holly, rest harrow and bird’s foot trefoil.
The beach benefits from a large car park with toilets and in summer there is a beach kiosk open along the promenade. An Asda supermarket can be found very close to the beach.
In the nature reserve dogs must be kept on leads and the beach itself has dog walking restrictions from May to September. A great cycle route with amazing views.
