Kinmel Bay beach and St Asaph Avenue car park will be open during the summer as construction on the coastal defence scheme is paused.
With 38,500 tonnes of rock armour placed from local quarries, 95% of the existing seawall has been raised and significant portions of the rock revetment completed. New access point structures and handrail installations are also well underway.
The work is currently ahead of schedule, so pausing work over the summer should have no impact on scheme duration.
The Kinmel Bay Flood Defence scheme is still scheduled to finish in Spring 2026 as originally planned.
The pause will also allow contractors to focus on harvesting rock supply from North Wales quarries before returning to site in Autumn.
