Things to Do  

Sightseeing

Sightseeing, Prestatyn

 ollyf Says:  My number one thing to see is the view from Gwaenysgor Hill. You'll need a car to do this unless you can cope with a long walk up a very steep road, but it's well worth it. From the look-out, you can see all of Prestatyn and most of the other towns and villages as far as... 

Prestatyn Beach - Sand and Flowers

Prestatyn Beach - Sand and Flowers, Prestatyn

 scotlandscotour Says:  Prestatyn Beach.Whether you are dipping your toes after a long walk of the Offa's Dyke Footpath; building sand castles, wondering the sand dunes for flowers, or splashing in the waves at sunset - you really should see Prestayn Beach.Wind FarmsOff shore you'll see wind... 

Roman Bath House - Archaeological Excavation

Roman Bath House - Archaeological Excavation, Prestatyn

 scotlandscotour Says:  One of those places you dismiss cos no one else goes there - except its one of the most significant Roman sites in Wales.A fantastic place to explore - without the tourists - or paying!!! 

Prestatyn Hillside - Walking Paradise & Great View

Prestatyn Hillside - Walking Paradise & Great View, Prestatyn

 scotlandscotour Says:  You must see the view from the top of Prestatyn Hillside. Luckily you can drive there, but the walking up this steep little hillside is fantastic. Walkers finishing the OD footpath are treated to incredible views across the water with a backdrop of the Snowdonia mountains,...

Harun's grill.: Rip-off Harun's.

Harun's grill.: Rip-off Harun's., Prestatyn

 seabreezer Says:  I know another tip has praised Harun's already. The food is alright but the portion size is unfair. My friend and I ordered exactly the same kebab and paid the same price, but they gave him twice what I had! If they know you you get preferential treatment, but this is unfair... 

Rozi's restaurant/takeaway: Good curry in a hurry!

Rozi's restaurant/takeaway: Good curry in a hurry!, Prestatyn

 seabreezer Says:  Rozi's started as a restuaurant in Prestatyn and now has three or four takeaway branches across Denbighshire - a testament to how popular it is. The curries are delicious, and the menu caters for all tastes. If, like me, you hate spicy curry, it has a vast arrange of tasty... 

Suhail Tandoori: Consistently good Indian food

Suhail Tandoori: Consistently good Indian food, Prestatyn

 ollyf Says:  I've been going to this restaurant for as long as I've lived in Prestatyn. It's not fine dining, but it rarely disappoints. It's suitable for everything from family events to dates to post-pub grub. They have an extensive menu catering for all tastes (even an English... 

Ruan Orchid: Wonderful Thai food, not so wonderful prices

Ruan Orchid: Wonderful Thai food, not so wonderful prices, Prestatyn

 ollyf Says:  Managed and staffed by Thais, this is an authentic Thai experience. I've been to Thailand twice and can confidently say this ranks with the best Thai restaurants I've been to even in their native country. What doesn't compare is the cost - the meals here are expensive, but I... 

Harun's Grill: Best kebabs in the world!

Harun's Grill: Best kebabs in the world!, Prestatyn

 ollyf Says:  Kebabs need not be consumed only by drunks craving fat, not taste. Harun's Grill shows that a well-done kebab is worthy of your respect and can be enjoyed at any time of day, when completely sober!I recommend the kofte kebab, which is truly delicious, and even the humble... 

Nightlife  

Various: Pub guide

Various: Pub guide, Prestatyn

 ollyf Says:  I'll just give a quick run down of some of the pubs in Prestatyn. There are no nightclubs (except for the residents' only ones in Pontins), theatres or cinemas, but you can find these in Rhyl, five minutes' drive west along the coast.Cross Foxes - the longest serving and... 

Transportation  

Getting there and away

Getting there and away, Prestatyn

 ollyf Says:  Road - Unless you're travelling from somewhere else nearby (in which case, chances are you know your way around!), then take the A55 expressway from heading west or east (depending on your starting point). The A55 covers almost all of the North Wales coast. Prestatyn is... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Nightime

Nightime, Prestatyn

 seabreezer Says:  The 'danger area' of Prestatyn is a 200-meter radius of the town's railway station. Late at night it is a hang-out for the town's youths, and people have been attacked and badly injured at the railway station. It is not well-lit or manned at night, and can be quite an...

Decent base for further explorations

Decent base for further explorations, Prestatyn

 ollyf Says:  The view from Gwaenysgor Hill, as explained in a previous tip, is - and has been - the premier thing I've shown visitors. Ignore the title of this tip, this is just the best place to put my thoughts.Prestatyn is a decent town. Not great, but a lot better than most British...

 scotlandscotour Says:  Sitting on the hillside overlooking Prestatyn, the sea and the Vale of Clwyd - one is like a angel sat upon a cloud, surveying the beauty of Wales.See this BBC website for a panoramic view - the best bit is at the end when it points east towards Prestatyn - really...
