Rhyl is a vibrant hub of activity, with events and attractions that keep the family amused all day and well into the night too. With stunning views and a variety of activities that take advantage of all the natural and historical wonders nearby. Wherever you base your holiday, Rhyl will give you more things to do than you can shake a stick of candyfloss at!

Rhyl has no fewer than four sandy beaches to choose from so there’s plenty to keep even dedicated beach fans busy.  Paddle in the sea, fly a kite, and build a sand castle.  Or give your sense of adventure a workout and try something new; our big open shorelines are perfect for windsurfing, kitesurfing, paddleboarding and more.  Sounds too much like hard work?  Watching the world go by from the comfort of a deck chair also comes highly recommended.

It’s a little wonder that the bustling seaside town of Rhyl is so popular with visitors for exciting attractions and events but there is more still to discover further afield.    Rhyl is a great base for exploring the coast and country in Denbighshire.  If you want to go down a gear and explore the beautiful natural surrounding and heritage why not visit Prestatyn, Bodelwyddan, Rhuddlan or Dyserth.

Here are just a few suggestions for an outing.  And you don’t even have to take the car.  All of them are easily reached via a network of walking routes and cycle paths including the National Cycle Route 84 and the Prestatyn-Dyserth Way.

Whether you like active holidays of the sun and fun variety, or prefer to admire the scenery from a bike or a park bench, this part of the world has something for all ages, all year round. It’s little wonder that the seaside town of Rhyl is so popular with visitors. Rhyl is a great base for exploring coast and country, but with miles of big sandy beaches and so much to see and do, they’re excellent destinations in their own right.
There’s nothing quite like a proper seaside holiday to recharge the batteries and make you feel brand new.

With so much to do and lots of great places to stay, Rhyl is pretty much made for holidays. And there’s always something going on. Catch a live show at Rhyl’s sea-front Pavilion theatre, where big names topping the bill this year include Martha Reeves and Billy Ocean. Fancy a night at the movies? You can watch the latest blockbusters and more at Rhyl’s Apollo Cinema Look out for a varied programme of events of all kinds, with highlights including Rhyl’s annual Air Show, where you can join thousands of visitors on the seafront and be amazed by the awesome sight of dramatic displays by the stars of British aviation.


Pont y Ddraig (Welsh for Dragon’s Bridge) on Rhyl’s brand new harbour development gives anyone on foot, on a bike, in a wheelchair or a pram, the chance to admire harbour and seaside views, and to enjoy the coast without the traffic. This iconic bridge is the last link in a 15 mile cycling route which enters the county of Denbighshire, and is part of both the National Cycle Network Route 5 and the Wales Coastal Path. Opened by Paralympic cyclist Mark Colbourne MBE in 2013, the bridge quite literally closes the gap in the coastal route; that is, when it’s not opened vertically to allow boats into the harbour. And, as if the bridge weren’t impressive enough by day, the whole thing lights up after dark. The harbour has excellent facilities for seafarers, with new harbour-side facilities coming soon for landlubbers to enjoy too.
