Colwyn Bay Halal Travel Guide

Colwyn Bay (Welsh: Bae Colwyn) is a coastal town in north Wales. As with much of the north Wales coast and the town has suffered with the decline in the tourist industry since in the mid-twentieth century. While it does not have the charm of nearby Llandudno, it hasn't declined as much as nearby Rhyl .

While "not as bad as Rhyl" may seem like a spurious fame to claim, Colwyn Bay still has many interesting locations.

A new water-sports centre is being built near the pier and is likely to attract more week-end holiday makers and 'day trippers' from Liverpool and Manchester which are both about an hour away by car. There is already a dedicated jet-ski area.

The greater Colwyn Bay area includes Old Colwyn to the east and Rhos-On-Sea at the north west end of the three mile wide bay. If you are driving past is well worth taking the detour to the coast road as there is free parking next to the sea. The pier is the biggest eyesore as its in a sad state and is currently closed. Thit is largely due to eccentric private ownership.

The beach however is sandy and relatively big when the tide is out. A nice aspect of the bay is the train line which runs along half of it and has prevented building behind the promenade, this gives a windswept feel.

Several wind farms are visible from the shore. These are not pretty to some but are ultimately hypnotic and others see them as crucial to a modern landscape. (Rhyl flats, [https://%B4r-united-kingdom-uk09 Gwent-y Mor and North Hoyle)
