The Esplanade runs directly along the seafront, offering immediate access to Criccieth's East and West Beaches. This area is characterised by its Victorian and Edwardian hotels and guesthouses, many of which have views of the sea and Criccieth Castle. The main town centre, just a short walk up from the Esplanade, provides convenient access to local shops, cafes, and restaurants.

Couples looking for a relaxing seaside break will find the Esplanade particularly appealing. Hotels here often feature balconies or terraces superb for enjoying the coastal views, and the proximity to both beaches means a leisurely stroll along the shore is always an option. The castle, a prominent landmark, is also easily reachable from this area.

Families will also appreciate staying close to the beaches. The gentle slopes of the beaches are suitable for children, and staying in the town centre means amenities like ice cream parlours and family-friendly eateries are just a short walk away.
