Rhôs-on-Sea (Welsh: Llandrillo-yn-Rhos), also known as Rhos or Llandrillo, is a seaside resort and community in Conwy County Borough, Wales. It is a mile to the northwest but effectively a suburb of Colwyn Bay, on the coast. It is named after the Welsh kingdom of Rhos established there in late Roman times as a sub-kingdom of Gwynedd, and later became a cantref (hundred). Today there are many boats anchored within the new harbour and the boat trips and sea fishing trips from Rhos jetty are becoming ever more popular. Rhos on sea sits in the shadow of Bryn Euryn on the western edge of the Bay of Colwyn, and lies between the towns of Penrhyn Bay to the west and Colwyn Bay to the east. The Rhos-on-Sea section of the promenade (and cycle path) stretches from the Cayley embankment via Rhos Point and on to Penrhyn Bay in the west. The village centres on the harbour and the seafront, and a number of restaurants, ice cream parlours and pubs line the busy promenade. The stretch of beach that sits between the promenade and the harbour breakwater is the most popular section of beach in the summer months. Access to the sand and shingle beach is via either the steps from the promenade or the ramp at the Rhos Point end of the beach. The harbour breakwater creates a pleasant sheltered area popular for sun bathing and paddling. Birdwatchers and nature lovers can head west around Rhos Point toward the mussel beds to find a wide variety of seabirds including oystercatchers, dunlins, red shanks, cormorants and many more.
