West Shore, Wales

About West Shore, Wales

Llandudno lies on a peninsula between two headlands: the Great Orme and the Little Orme. Bordered by the Irish Sea on one side and the estuary of the River Conwy on the other, it has two waterfronts, the North Shore and the West Shore. The West Shore is a large, expansive sandy beach, backed by a promenade along its entire length. At West Shore you will find a little bit of everything, with super flat water sections, lagoons that appear as the tide comes in, and waves further out to sea. This is a good spot for all levels of rider, from pro to beginner. One to mark on the map!
