When you're searching for a holiday location in North Wales choosing somewhere with a great beach is very important and there's no better place than Llandudno. The town is full of Victorian charm with a long promenade lined with top quality hotels and guest houses and is close to the town centre. The promenade curves beautifully between the two headlands called the Great Orme and Little Orme. The North Shore beach stretches for well over a mile as it follows the promenade and when the sea is out has masses of golden sand to explore.
The Great Orme lies at the western end of the North Shore and is only a short walk away from the beach. It is an excellent location to explore with plenty of country walks and wonderful attractions including Happy Valley, Ski Llandudno, and The Great Orme Visitor Centre. Walking to the summit is easily done if you're feeling fit and there are spectacular views of the North Wales coastline across to Anglesey and Rhyl.
There are of course easier ways than walking to get to the Great Orme summit and two of the nicest are the Great Orme Tramway and the Great Orme cable car. The Great Orme Tramway is just five minutes from the beach and takes you on a steep journey to the summit on Victorian trams that date back over 100 years. Alternatively if you fancy some terrific views of Llandudno bay then walk to Happy Valley and ride the Great Orme cable car to the summit. A great option is to to ride up to the summit on one and descend on the other.
Llandudno Pier is closer to the beach and stretches out towards the Irish Sea. The Victorian pier was built well over 100 years ago and has retained much of its original features and architecture. You'll find a range of small shops and kiosks dotted along the pier as you walk towards the end and make sure you have a camera ready for some really good views and photographs of the beach and promenade. A large children's play area is situated on the pier with bouncy castles and amusement arcades when you fancy a break from the children and a Punch and Judy show will entertain younger children by the entrance to the pier.
There's plenty of refreshments close to the North Shore with a host of cafes and coffee houses nearby. Llandudno's main shopping street is just two minutes walk from the beach and is lined with places to grab a bite to eat and drink. If you're looking for something more filling there are plenty of restaurants to choose from catering for all tastes from Italian and Indian to British or why not get cleaned up and have a night at the theatre which is located on the promenade.
Whatever type of holiday you're looking for if a beautiful beach is part of your requirements then Llandudno fits the bill perfectly. You're never far away from your accommodation on the beach and there's more than enough going on to keep the youngsters entertained whilst you while away the hours. Once you've finished it's just a short walk back to your accommodation and then onwards into the night to enjoy Llandudno's nightlife.
