This is the eastern half of the coastal promenade that stretches from Rhos-on-Sea in the west to Prestatyn in the east. This section, linking Prestatyn and Rhyl, offers views across Liverpool Bay towards the clusters of offshore wind turbines. This is a lovely, flat seaside route passing long sandy beaches and child-friendly attractions such as the SeaQuarium and Sun Centre in Rhyl.
The route is traffic-free apart from a short section on road where it crosses the River Clwyd just west of Rhyl. This is an open, coastal route which can be quite windy at times. If you are going to cycle there and back it is best to cycle into the wind at the start while you are fresh and have the wind help you on the return journey.
