Llandudno Bay & North Shore

Llandudno's North Shore is a mix of sand and shingle between the Great Orme and Little Orme, and is the curvy coastline that people come to associate with Llandudno. Next to the beach there is a promenade that is parallel to the coastline built during the Victorian era, that is separated from the roadway by flower beds and grass verging. The roadway, known as The Promenade or Parade, has many of Llandudno's hotels build alongside it. Central to Llandudno's North Shore is Venue Cymru and The North Wales Conference Centre.

Llandudno Grand Hotel The Grand Hotel is sandwiched between the Happy Valley and Llandudno's Pier, and actually straddles both entrances to Llandudno's Unique pier. When built in 1901 it was Wales' largest hotel with over 150 rooms. It is currently owned by Britannia Hotels.

Llandudno Promenade The promenade follows the curvature of Llandudno Bay, and is the widest and most recognisable section of the promenade - at times over 60 foot wide, nearly three times the width of the road adjacent to it. The promenade is over a mile long. The promenade also has a number of victorian hotels on the front.  The promenade has a number of amenities, including a number of slipways to the beach (one used by the lifeboat, the UK's only inshore lifeboat), from where pleasure cruises around the Great Orme headland are launched. There is also traditional children's entertainment such as Punch & Judy shows on the north end of the shore, near the entrance to the pier. Further along, towards the Little Orme and adjacent to Bodafon Farm is a small paddling pool and playground for young children.

Llandudno Cenotaph Llandudno's cenotaph stands in Prince Edward Square on the town's promenade. It was built after the First World War to commemorate the 45 lives from the town that were lost in that war. After the Second WorldWar, 61 names were tragically added to the Cenotaph. More recently, Lance Bombardier Llywelyn Evans' name was added, when he died on the first day of the war in Iraq in 2003. The Cenotaph marks the spot for the memorial service in Llandudno that's held every year on Rememberence Sunday, to honour those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in wars.

St Georges’s Hotel St George's Hotel is one of the Victorian hotels which line the promenade at Llandudno on the North Wales coast. The St George's Hotel is the one of the premier hotels on the North Wales coast. Built in 1854, it contains 85 bedrooms, a health & fitness suite, and two restaurants. It has seen no less than 5 UK Prime Ministers reside there, from Benjamin Disraeli to Margaret Thatcher.
