About this beach
The bay is located approximately 2 kilometres west of the River Clwyd, within a long sandy stretch of beach, which extends over 8 kilometres, from Kinmel Bay to Llanddulas. The beach has a large tidal range and is gently sloping from the low tide mark to the high tide pebbled area. The water quality sample point lies to the east of the Golden Sands Holiday Camp.
