I was on West Shore Prom yesterday for the Car Club event and, at the end, was approached by a lady who asked me what was the name of the beach. I told her it was the "West Shore" and she asked if it was part of Llandudno. I was a bit taken aback by this, but she then told me that she had been to the "other" beach with her children and was disgusted (by the boulders and lack of sand) and had somehow stumbled across West Shore. Although the tide was in you could see some sand and I told her that when it went out there was a vast expanse of sand, although you shouldn't venture too far out.
She thanked me and said next time she brought the kids she would head for West Shore. I told her there was a cafe at the end and she left happy and looking forward to a coffee. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask where she was from, but iobviously not local!
I'm sure for every tourist that finds West Shore there are plenty that don't and, having seen Boulder Beach, will not return to the town.
As for the general untidiness there is also the safety aspect. Failure to cut the "hedge" as you turn into Mostyn Street by Tudno Castle means you cannot see pedestrians about to step out. Similarly the high grass on the Black Cat A55 roundabout, whe exiting from Colwyn Bay, means you cannot see low cars coming from the right.
