Prestatyn is a coastal parish on the north Wales coast in Denbighshire, Wales, known for its long sandy beach, Victorian promenade and a popular seafront holiday camp. It sits at the foot of the Clwydian Range, giving easy access to hill walks and the Offa's Dyke path, and on clear days there are views inland towards Snowdonia.
Its name reflects early settlement around the parish church, and today the local economy blends tourism and retail with a commuter population supported by good road and rail links to Chester and on towards Holyhead. The community has a strong seaside identity, with local clubs, markets and conservation efforts that balance holiday trade with everyday life for residents.
