Llandudno North Shore Beach (Conwy)

Information
Llandudno North Shore beach is a 2-mile curving beach of sand, shingle and rock, the beach stretches between the headlands of the Great Orme and the Little Orme.
Llandudno North Shore beach has a wide Victorian promenade separated from the roadway by a small strip of garden. The road has a different name for each block and it is on these parades and crescents that many of Llandudno’s hotels are built. This gives Llandudno a unique aspect as the front has been protected and still looks like it must have looked in Victorian times.
The beach area is divided into areas for swimmers, windsurfers/sailing and power boats.
Endless choices of facilities as you are in the centre of Llandudno with car parking in any of the town car parks or pay and display on the road by the beach.
Llandudno North Shore Beach has been awarded a regional Seaside Award.

  Llandudno West Shore beach is quieter than the North Shore beach and is on the River Conwy estuary below the Great Orme. The beach is sandy with a stony pebble foreshore. The West Shore is linked to the North Shore by Gloddaeth Avenue, a wide dual carriageway. The beach is backed by a promenade and as you are in the town so a wide selection of facilities are at hand.

  You can’t miss Great Orme in Llandudno as it is the striking backdrop to any photograph taken in Llandudno itself. Scenic summit trails take in wonderful views over the elegant Victorian town of Llandudno and across to the Menai Strait and Anglesey. The paths are steep in places so if want you the view without the walk, you can reach the top by tram or cable car. The wide range of flowers on the Great Orme provides food for butterflies in summer – and look out for the resident goats. Well worth a visit and you have number of things to do and visit and options:The marine drive is a masterpiece of Victorian road building with great views to Snowdonia and Anglesey. The 5 mile (8 km) drive is a one-way route hanging to the edge of the cliffs. Great Orme tramway is cable-hauled with original Victorian carriages. The Great Orme cable cars pass over the road and tramway. A combined ticket allows you to experience both, go up on one and down on the other. For the more energetic you can walk. Whilst on Great Orme visit the bronze-age copper mines where you can follow the ancient workings and caverns 150ft (45m) below ground.

  Great holiday location.
  Llandudno is a good overall holiday location and the best on this stretch of coast. Good clean beaches backed by close shopping. We liked the fact that the wide promenade is not full of amusements and tacky shops.
