Sitting on a peninsula jutting out into the Irish Sea, Llandudno is one of Wales’ largest tourist resorts, largely because of its stunning beach. The main beach sits on the north shore, directly in front of the town and looking out onto Llandudno Bay.

The main feature of Llandudno Beach is the impressive Victorian Pier, which stretches out far into the bay. Take a stroll along the 2,295 feet of old wooden structure to the end where you’ll find an amazing view of the town.

Set back behind the beach is the promenade, which runs the length of the seafront, dividing the town from the beach. On sunny days, this promenade is bustling with life and activity, with plenty of attractions, plus food and drinks concessions to choose from. It’s a great example of Victorian and Edwardian elegance with a few modern touches.

The beach itself is mainly rocky but there are sandy sections and it’s easily accessed via a slipway. When the tide is out, it exposes a large area of sand where you can walk and play. Swimming is usually good, although small children should be supervised, as there is not always lifeguard cover.

Along some of the sandy stretches you can enjoy pony rides, a beach attraction that’s been popular here for over 125 years. There are also Punch & Judy shows throughout the summer months. With plenty of facilities within easy reach of the Llandudno Beach, it’s a great family day out and a must for visitors to the town.
