About

West Shore beach in Llandudno is much quieter than the bustling North Shore. This is a sandy beach which is popular with holidaymakers. The beach faces toward Conwy Bay where low tide reveals a large stretch of sand, which is great for kite-flyers and kite-surfers. It's also well-known for its stunning sunsets.

If you enjoy walking, you can join the Wales Coast Path, or climb up the nearby Great Orme headland - a wildlife-rich country park and Special Area of Conservation.

There is a café with parking and toilet facilities by the beach.

There is no lifeguard on the beach. Please read the safety signs at the beach entrance to make yourself aware of local hazards, check the tide times and remember that the tide can come in surprisingly quickly.

And remember, please don’t feed the seagulls!

Dogs on the beach

Bringing your dog to the beach can be a massive highlight for you and your pets. We encourage you to ensure your dog is under control at all times both on and off the lead, and to be aware of the restrictions in place at some of our beaches.

In general dogs are not allowed on the beaches (except for registered guide dogs and trained assistance dogs) between 1st May and 30th September, but some may prohibit dogs all year round while others have no restrictions at all to enjoying a seaside stroll with your pets.

We always ask that you pick up after your dog as it is an offence not to clean up immediately.

For more information about facilities available at each of our beaches see Conwy County Borough Council's website.
