Summer in Colwyn Bay is something special. The sun comes out, the beach fills with laughter, and the town buzzes with energy. If you live at Penrhos Heights, all of this is right on your doorstep, making it easy to enjoy everything the coast has to offer.
The Beach and the Promenade
There’s nothing quite like walking along Colwyn Bay Beach on a sunny morning. The sand is perfect for paddling, sunbathing, or building sandcastles with the kids. And the promenade? It’s a lovely place for a stroll, with benches to sit and enjoy the view, and plenty of little spots to grab a coffee or ice cream.
Evenings are magical here. Watching the sun set over the Little Orme while listening to the waves makes it feel like you’re on holiday, even if it’s just a regular day.
