Rhyl’s visitors, day trippers and residents are witnessing amazing feats of engineering as new coastal defences are created. The famous promenade is being transformed and the whole town is open for business. Here’s how to find your way around and make the most of the Rhyl experience.
Rhyl’s sister resort of Prestatyn is undergoing its own flood defences work to meet the challenges of the future. Here’s what you need to know.
Rhyl’s ambitious coastal flood defence scheme is underway. But you can still reach the beaches – and the fantastic attractions and places to eat on the seafront are open and welcoming visitors.
There are seven miles of sand stretching all the way from Rhyl to its sister resort of Prestatyn – and Rhyl has four beaches all of its own. This is everything you need to know about how to reach them and the crucial facilities nearby.
The promenade is packed with things to see and do – from a spectacular waterpark and seafront aquarium to a state-of-the-art cinema and 1,000-seat theatre. Here are some of the highlights.
Rhyl promenade is a highlight on two major trails – one for cyclists and one for walkers. The detours will add a few metres to the journey but take nothing away from the experience.
From world cuisine to good old-fashioned fish and chips or roast dinners in a seafront pub. Rhyl covers every taste and budget with brilliant places for a family meal or pre-theatre dinner.
You can’t possibly see everything Rhyl has to offer on a day trip – so you’ll need to book a bed for a night or two. The town covers all bases from modern seafront hotels to B&Bs, self-catering cottages and touring and static caravan sites.
