10 beaches to visit whilst holidaying at Golden Sands…

Kinmel Bay

Kinmel Bay, also known as Sandy Cove is a north-facing sandy beach with a narrow promenade. It’s a great spot for family fun, watersports and nature watching – if you are lucky enough you may see a seal splashing in the water or skylarks, kestrels and wading birds. Better still, if you are staying at Golden Sands Holiday Park you have direct access to the beach so you can catch as many sunsets and build as many sandcastles as you like!

Golden Sands Holiday Park is situated at Kinmel Bay, with direct beach access.

Towyn Beach is situated adjacent to the Wales Coast Path and is renowned for its scenic walks. It has a mixture of shingle and sand and offers a range of seaside attractions such as funfairs and amusement arcades. If you get a nice clear day you can enjoy the stunning view across Colwyn Bay.
