Winning again!

Just last week, 104 resort and rural beaches qualified to fly the coveted blue and yellow Seaside Award flag. The North Shore and West Shore in Llandudno, Rhos On Sea, Old Colwyn, Llanfairfechan and Penmaenmawr were all included in the winning list, which requires beaches to have attained a minimum European Union standard of bathing water quality, and met a long list of strictly monitored land based criteria.

In a year when tourist numbers are expected to be higher than usual, owing to the somewhat miserable economic climate, this is really good news for the town. All we need now is a lot more sand on North shore :-))
