💡 Tips

  • Take the Great Orme Tramway early in the day to avoid long queues and enjoy the best views of the coast.
  • The promenade is very long; walking from the North Shore to the quieter West Shore has contrasting views.
  • Parking on the seafront can be difficult; look for parking lots slightly inland for better rates.
