Water Sports in North Wales

Water, water everywhere.

We’ve got saltwater in our veins!

There’s a strong sailing culture all along the coast – you’ll find sailing clubs and slipways everywhere, at places like Conwy, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno and Penmaenmawr.

Sailing is also popular inland at Llyn Brenig on Mynydd Hiraethog.

Its friendly club – the highest in North Wales – benefits from excellent wind conditions perfect for learners as well as competitive sailing.

The nearby Alwen Reservoir is a waterskiing venue.

Our harbours and marinas are varied and characterful.

At Conwy, there’s a salty old quayside in the shadow of a medieval castle.

There are also two modern marinas – at Conwy itself (500 berths) and across the estuary at Deganwy (165 berths).

Kinmel Bay and Rhos-on-Sea also have attractive little harbours.

Our sailing heritage comes to the fore at the Conwy River Festival.

Held each summer, this ‘celebratory festival of all water-based activities’ is a week of serious competition and shore-based fun.

Windsurfers, kitesurfers and canoeists like the conditions at Llanfairfechan and Penmaenmawr.

Jet ski-ing is popular in Colwyn Bay too, and you can enjoy sea kayaking all along the coast.

Tuition in powerboating and sailing is also available at North Wales Power and Sail, Deganwy.

Or for a completely unique water sports experience, venture inland and head to the world’s first inland surf lagoon at Adventure Parc Snowdonia in Dolgarrog.
