Kinmel Bay (Welsh: Bae Cinmel) in Conwy County Borough, north-east Wales is a suburb of Rhyl, which lies across the River Clwyd in the neighbouring county of Denbighshire.

According to the 2001 Census, together with neighbouring Towyn (to the west), it had a population of 7,864, of which 10.7% could speak Welsh.[1]

Kinmel Bay is part of a large urban area which includes Abergele, Pensarn, Towyn, Rhyl and Prestatyn. A ship, La Nave Reyes said to be part of the Spanish Armada and under the command of the Duke of Medina Sidonia, sunk in the River Clwyd near Kinmel Bay in 1588 with the loss of 220,000 pesos of gold and silver. These coins are still being found today.[citation needed]
