Kinmel Bay and Towyn (Welsh: Bae Cinmel a Tywyn) is a community in Conwy County Borough, in Wales.
It is crossed by the Afon Gele, which flows from west to east, before joining the River Clwyd on the eastern boundary.
Storm-force winds, a high tide and storm surge caused the defences to fail over a 440-yard (400 m) stretch in 1990, resulting in the flooding of 2,800 properties.
[4] St Mary's Church, in Towyn, was built in 1873 and designed by George Edmund Street, who was also the architect for the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
It is in the Early Decorated style, and is Grade II* listed, as is the nearby Towyn and Kinmel Bay Youth Club, built two years earlier and also designed by Street.
