About this beach
<p>The beach is located approximately 1 kilometre north east of the River Clwyd, within a long sandy stretch of beach, which extends over 2.5 kilometres from the Clwyd Estuary to Splash Point. The beach has a large tidal range and is very gently sloping from the low tide mark towards the high tide area, which is bordered by a promenade. The water quality sample point is located opposite Rhyl Sea Life Centre.<p> <p>To view aerial footage, go to <a href="https://youtu.be/Dzu8JUmRFug">https://youtu.be/Dzu8JUmRFug</a>
