The jewel of the North Wales coast for more than 100 years, Llandudno lies on a wide, gently curving bay between the headlands of the Great Orme.  The charm and elegance of a Victorian seaside resort is combined with two fine sandy beaches and a host of amenities and top attractions including the lovely Victorian pier and the historic Great Orme Tramway.  The North shore is the busier of the two with boat trips, donkey rides and Punch & Judy shows.  The west shore is quieter with miles of sand and panoramic views of the Snowdownian mountain range in the distance.
