Little Orme Standing Stones and Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

Often overshadowed by its larger sibling, Great Orme, across the bay, Little Orme is also a lovely place to visit. Unline Great Orme, the area wasn't mined for its copper so you'll find a green expanse of untouched headland and tall limestone cliffs (great for rock climbing). There are lots of public footpaths to the top of the hill, where you can enjoy incredible views out to sea.

Colwyn Bay Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Marine Road Beach sits at the western end of the rock and shingle beach adjacent to the centre of Colwyn Bay. The beach is popular for activities such as swimming, water sports, and sailing, with many sailing boats docking along this section of the shore. Being relatively flat, at low tide it is wide and vast, whilst a fairly thin strip of rocks and shingle is left once the tide has come in.
There is plenty of roadside parking along West Promenade, a short walk to the west of the beach. The promenade extends all along the Colwyn Bay beach front offering walking and cycle tracks as well as excellent views of the surrounding coastline. There is a dog ban on the beach from May until September. Dolphins and seals are occasionally spotted in the surf, whilst wading birds are a common sight. The beach can be accessed via a slipway.
It's a great stop for photos and a great cycle path.
