Colwyn Bay Beach

Winner of the prestigious Blue Flag award, Colwyn Bay Beach (also known as Rhos-on-Sea 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.

Rhos is known for small things too – specifically the Harlequin Puppet Theatre which is just a stone’s throw from the seafront. Another ‘mini’ attraction is Rhos Fynach Mini Golf. It’s crazy golf with a fun nautical theme, with holes that include ‘The Surfboard’, ‘Pirates Skull’ and ‘Submarine’.
