Morfa Conwy

Morfa Conwy is a spit formed originally of marshy sand, north of the western end of the modern A55 entrance to Conwy in Conwy county borough, north-west Wales. A widely used corruption of the place name is Conwy Morfa, likely to have come about from the nearby Conway Marsh changing to Conway Morfa. The North Wales Coast Line railway once had a stop at 'Conway Morfa'. Known locally as "The Morfa" (Welsh, Y Morfa - meaning the sea marsh), it shapes the south side of the estuary of the River Conwy. Today a large sandy bay, which at low tide forms part of the extensive sandy beaches and mussel banks of Conwy Bay, Morfa Conwy has many developments on its land, including: A beach – a large sandy bay The golf club – possibly where golf was first played in Wales A marina – Conwy Quays, developed by Crest Nicholson, managed by a third party An industrial estate – on the south-side of the A55 road
