Walking distance from the accommodation. It was/is also called Snowdonia Mountain Zoo as Colwyn Bay is only around 16 miles from Snowdon, a great view from thje mountain zoo, which is a walk 'uphill', so you might want to drive? There used to be a free bus from Colwyn Bay railway station, but this was stopped during covid restrictions, I am not sure if it will re-commence after 7th Aug

The beach is quite long and there is always sand on it, even when the tide is in. There aren't any signs 'to the beach', so the path is near the railway station and goes under the railway line, about 12 mins walk

At Rhos-on-Sea - a good walk away, or use a car - check it out on a maps app. It is possible to drive past it without being able to see it, as the road is higher than beach level. Perhaps look at it on tripadvisor, maybe it's 6th century, maybe its one of the smallest churches (seats 6?)

Cheap all day wales bus ticket - £11.50 for a two people
There are also Arriva BusFamily Day tickets allow up to 2 adults and 3 children (between the ages of 5 to under 16) to travel together on our services. This means that a family can take the bus from a nearby bus stop to go to e.g. Llandudno, or even Snowdon - I will check it out, and maybe pay just £6.50 for one person, or a bit less for a couple or a family
