We are very close to the beach, as you can see from the picture here - I have written 'Cottage' in red on the roof of the cottage. The line of houses behind are on the Promenade and they do provide us with a lot of shelter when the wind comes in off the sea.  In the distance you can see Anglesey (Beaumaris) and then Penmon point and lighthouse, then Puffin Island.  Coming back in to the shore you can see the boat park and in front of it a jetty (great for fishermen as the tide comes in).    

 As you look at this you can see the Pavilion cafe out on the front - that building on its own with the red roof.  To the left of it there's a little river with a bridge over. That takes you into an area with a small 'lake' that houses a pair of swans, there's a playground, tennis courts, then our football field and you can walk either on the sand or the hard surfaced area along here through to the salt flats by Aber.  There's a small stream that separates the counties Conwy and Gwynedd here.  This will take you into a loop (unless you want to go further) and bring you back home.  This section is quite famous for visits by unusual birds, too.
