About

Kinmel Bay ward lies along the northeastern coast of Conwy county, directly bordering the Irish Sea. The area is primarily residential, characterised by modern housing estates and bungalows. Its flat topography is defined by the wide, sandy expanse of Kinmel Bay beach, which stretches towards the mouth of the River Clwyd. The ward includes the Sandy Cove caravan park, a significant feature of the local landscape and community.

Inland, the layout is structured around main thoroughfares like St. Asaph Avenue and Foryd Road, which connect the residential zones to local shops and services. The area contains several large static caravan parks and a golf course, reflecting its role in coastal tourism. The nearby Foryd Harbour, a tidal inlet, separates it from the town of Rhyl in neighbouring Denbighshire, marking a clear geographical boundary.
