Colwyn Bay has been a popular holiday destination since tourism began in the Victorian era. The sandy beach, which can be over-popular in summer, is a great place to sunbathe, play beach games and swim. There's also a promenade with plenty of ice cream shops and restaurants.

You can usually find a quieter stop if you cycle up the beach, further away from the town.

Rhos-on-Sea/Colwyn Bay beach is great for swimming, watersports and fishing, with cycling and walking along the coastal track.

Rhos-on-Sea is Colwyn Bay’s genteel cousin. In fact the big, three mile bay starts at Rhos’ harbour wall, a serene scene of bobbing boats and a beach of sand and shingle that’s guaranteed never to get too busy.

Another attraction is Rhos Fynach Crazy Golf. It’s crazy golf with a fun nautical theme, with holes that include ‘The Surfboard’, ‘Pirates Skull’ and ‘Submarine’.

Pleasant traffic free section along the coast, can be busy with walkers though.
