Sunset at Bae Cinmel The geese fly by. The turbines turn as does the tide. The sun sinks once more at Bae Cinmel.

Back to the sea With my back to the sea, the view isn't half as good. Here we get a shot of the footpath and steps which lead across the sea-defence boulders from the promenade.

Glascoed Avenue, Kinmel Bay The bungalows here are of a type that can only really be found in coastal areas - cheaply built and not very substantial, they were probably only ever intended to be holiday homes. With the unadopted road clearly in poor condition the overall impression is not especially appealing, although the bungalows themselves appear to be well looked after.

Golden Sands Holiday Park This stretch of coast is dominated by holiday parks consisting mainly of static caravans although a few wooden lodges are also available. Here the coastal path curls round Golden Sands Holiday Park but the security fencing makes the place look rather industrial. The banners advertise various offers to prospective customers.

Warning Cyclists At first sight this large board appears to be warning users of the Wales Coast Path about the presence of cyclists. In fact it is a slightly offbeat advertisement for the facilities offered at Golden Sands Holiday Park.

Kinmel Bay Beach The shingle beach stretches away towards the River Clwyd and Rhyl backed by bungalows.

Golden Sands Holiday Park There are so many static caravan sites, as well as caravan dealerships, in this area that it would not be unreasonable to call it an industry. Here these caravans overlook the sea (for which the owners probably pay a premium) but the way through is barred by an ugly metal fence. Perhaps surprisingly this park can trace its origins back to 1933, although the standard of accommodation has no doubt improved since then. The appearance of these caravans may not be particularly aesthetic but they are well appointed and offer relatively inexpensive holidays which suit many people.

Footpath to Towyn The footpath winds its way back from the sea across the main North Wales coast railway, passing among the static caravans to the main road at Towyn.

Railway at Towyn The railway towards Abergele curves round past the static caravan sites on this stretch of the north Wales coast. It is tempting to think that the track leading off to the right was once a railway formation, but if so it has been disused for a very long time and it is not obvious what purpose it might have served. In February 1990 deep low pressure conditions combined with a north westerly gale and a spring tide created a storm surge that inundated this area causing immense property damage to homes and caravans.

Footbridge to Golden Sands Holiday Park The footbridge over the railway between Rhyl and Abergele gives a direct connection between Towyn and the Golden Sands Holiday Park, although the steps up to it are steep. There are a huge number of static caravans in this area stretching out both sides of the line. Note the offshore wind farm in the distance.
