National Cycle Route 5 joins the pedestrian way along this section, which also forms part of the North Wales Coastal Path. The promenade was created by the Llandudno and Colwyn Bay Electric Railway to carry their tramway and was a private toll road. Damage caused during storms in the early 1950s was a factor in the demise of the tramway. The sea defences, which as can be seen are significantly higher than the roadway, only appeared much later.
