A wide, gently shelving three-mile sweep of golden sand and shingle. Established in 1920 by Gordon S. Whale, Colwyn Bay was home to the famous Wireless College on East Parade. It served as a critical wartime training establishment for Radio Officers from 1940, teaching Morse code and maritime communication to thousands who went on to serve in the Merchant Navy and Marconi company.
Completely open and free public access with flat, fully accessible wide concrete paths and promenades running the full length of the bay.
