A Seaside Story You Didn’t Know You Needed...

Let’s be honest—when you think of North Wales, your mind might leap to Snowdonia’s rugged peaks or Llandudno’s Victorian elegance. But nestled quietly on the coast is a town that’s got sand between its toes, history in its heart, and big plans for the future.
Welcome to Colwyn Bay—a town you think you know, but trust us, there’s a lot more under the surface.

🏖️ Colwyn Bay: More Than Just a Beach

Yes, it has a beach—and a rather gorgeous one at that. Colwyn Bay’s sweeping sandy shore stretches proudly along the coast, ideal for morning walks, lazy afternoons, and spontaneous dips. But look again: it’s also home to Porth Eirias, a modern waterfront hub where you can grab a coffee, learn to paddleboard, or dine at celebrity chef Bryn Williams’ bistro.

The promenade? It’s not just for summer strolls. It’s a front-row seat to sunsets, cycling, events, and the occasional dolphin spotting if you’re lucky.

Whether it’s grabbing a bacon butty at the market or chatting about rugby in a local pub, the social scene here is real, relaxed, and refreshingly unpretentious.
