Looking for the best beaches in North Wales?
Fantastic beaches are something that North Wales has in abundance.
Our beaches here in Conwy range from Llanfairfechan in the West to Kinmel Bay in the East and include the popular seaside resorts of Llandudno and Colwyn Bay.
Beaches in North Wales have convenient facilities nearby including cafes, shops and toilets some even have showers so you don’t have to take the beach with you when you leave.
Whether it’s family fun, seaside seclusion or white-knuckle watersports, our coast with the most delivers in buckets and spades.
You’re bound to find a beach tailor-made for your mood – from the popular ‘beside the sea’ sands at Llandudno and Colwyn Bay to dreamy, more peaceful beaches like Pensarn.
And they’re not just for summer, in fact, many of our visitors prefer a bracing stroll on the beach in spring, autumn and even winter, when that salty tang really revives the spirits.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) has been a world-leading emergency service for nearly 200 years. There are stations at Conwy and Llandudno, which are well worth a visit for information about the essential and life-saving work that they do – all from charity donations and volunteer service.
Here are some beach safety tips from the experts!
