A capacious car park on the top of the beach stretches east from the railway bridge at Abergele & Pensarn railway station. The railway line follows the sea wall which was built to protect it, and the coastal path and cycleway run between them. The very wide spacing of the tracks follows from the fact that there were previously four tracks here, now reduced to two except at the station where there is still a loop for stopping trains in the Holyhead (down) direction.
