Kinmel Bay (Welsh: Bae Cinmel) is a large seaside village in Conwy County Borough, north-east Wales.

The resort town of Rhyl lies just across the River Clwyd in the neighbouring county of Denbighshire.

In addition to various small shops and takeaway outlets, there is also an Asda superstore that opened in 1981, and (as of 2016) includes a large petrol filling station.

Screenwriter/director Jimmy Sangster, known for his work on various Hammer horror films, was born in Kinmel Bay.

[3] Kinmel Bay was the inspiration for the piece 'Vanishing Games', music written for oboe quartet by composer Peter McGarr.
