We recognise the Foryd Harbour as one of Rhyl’s biggest assets. With this in mind, over the past 3 years, we have developed the area extensively and have much more planned.
So far, these developments have included a new road on the Conwy side of the Harbour, Horton’s Nose Lane with new access points for Rhyl Yacht Club and Sunnyvale Caravan Park. We have redeveloped the quayside and incorporated a floating pontoon for boats to draw alongside and load and unload passengers and supplies. We have installed a 2 tonne hoist for use by harbour users needing to unload heavier equipment and supplies. We have also made improvements to the old timber yard, which is now a winter boat storage yard with electricity points and a wash down area for boats with a power washer.
Over the next 3 years we are planning to redevelop the harbour further. This will include an extension of the quayside eastwards. A public square will be built which will incorporate a landing area for the new bridge traffic. There will also be business units to include a harbour master’s office, commercial units, facilities for community use and the potential for a maritime museum with historical information about Rhyl Harbour.
We will also be reorganising the harbour moorings to create a more structured working harbour and maximise the layout to ensure full use of facilities and that the harbour is being used to its full potential. Denbighshire’s Countryside Service have made developments to Horton’s Nose, the dune area on the Conwy side of the harbour, including a boardwalk and interpretation panels highlighting the area’s plant and animal life. With the new bridge, business units, public square and a more structured harbour, the whole area will be a real hub of activity, a tourist attraction and a profitable, sustainable asset to the town.
