Pensarn is a suburb of Abergele in Conwy County Borough, Wales, the name Pensarn means 'end of the causeway' in English. The crossing of Morfa Rhuddlan was facilitated by a causeway near the sea, located at this point. This causeway was later developed by holiday developments along the coast between Rhyl and Abergele

Colwyn Bay Beach and Promenade

Highlight • Beach

Colwyn Bay has been a popular holiday destination since tourism began in the Victorian era. The sandy beach, which can be over-popular in summer, is a great place to sunbathe, play beach games and swim. There's also a promenade with plenty of ice cream shops and restaurants.

You can usually find a quieter stop if you cycle up the beach, further away from the town.
