About

Towyn is a coastal ward situated between the towns of Kinmel Bay and Abergele, overlooking the Irish Sea. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing estates and older properties. Its long, flat promenade and wide sandy beach are central features, attracting visitors and providing a focus for local recreation. The hinterland consists of low-lying land, with some agricultural use and caravan parks situated near the shoreline.

The ward is notable for the extensive Towyn sea defence wall, constructed following significant flooding in the past. This infrastructure defines much of the coastal frontage. Inland, the community is served by local shops and schools, with the main railway line running parallel to the coast. The area's geography is defined by its position on a stretch of coastline vulnerable to tidal forces, shaping both its landscape and its infrastructure.
