Kinmel Bay & Towyn

About

Kinmel Bay and Towyn form a coastal stretch along the North Wales shoreline, characterised by a long, flat expanse of sandy beach backed by a concrete promenade. The area is primarily residential, with streets of bungalows and holiday homes arranged in a grid pattern leading directly to the sea. The wide beach is a central feature, with views extending across the tidal flats of the Conwy Estuary towards the distant hills of Anglesey.

The promenade is functional, built for flood defence, and is lined with caravan parks that are a dominant presence in the landscape. Inland, the flat topography gives way to the golf course of the Kinmel Manor Hotel. The area's history is marked by the visible sea defences, a direct response to significant flooding in the past that reshaped the shoreline's infrastructure.
