Family friendly side and dogs allowed to the right of the stone groyne during the summer. Easy to park, sloped access from the path to yhe sandy beach and gentle slope to the sea from the beach. The tide goes in and out swiftly so be mindful. Pay for public loos further down the beach next to the playground. Can get windy during the winter months- the kite surfers will evidence that! Beautiful views of the Orme and across the estuary to Conwy and Penmaenmawr.

Easy to access the beach from the road and path, especially at the beach nearest the old toll gate at the bottom of the Orme.

Check the Conditions tab for current wave height, swell and wind. Review the Quality tab for the latest Environment Agency classification. Always read recent community reports for local knowledge.

Check the Tides tab for today's high and low times. Many coastal spots are best around high tide when there's enough water depth, or during slack water when currents are weakest.

A tow float for visibility, warm layers for after, and footwear for rocky entries. In colder months, consider a wetsuit, gloves, and a swim cap.
