Stretching 2,295 feet (700m) over the sea, Llandudno Pier is the longest in Wales, and one of the UK’s finest, and was voted "Pier of the Year 2005" by the members of the National Piers Society. When the body of a local boat tour operator is found on the beach beside Llandudno Pier, it seems that her murder might be linked to an ongoing rivalry with a new boat tour company. However, when it is discovered that the victim had recently started a relationship with a much younger man, the focus of the investigation changes. The Pier Pavilion was famous for its musical concerts throughout the 20 th Century and was the venue at which the world-famous conductor, the late Sir Malcolm Sergeant first appeared (1926/1927 Seasons). In later years such household names as George Formby, Ted Ray, Semprini. Petula Clark, Arthur Askey, Bryan Johnson, Bill Maynard (“Greengrass” in Heartbeat), Jimmy Edwards, Russ Conway, the Beverley Sisters, and Cliff Richard all appeared at the Pier Pavilion. In 1994 Pier Pavilion was ravaged by fire, leaving just the ornate wrought iron supports standing.

There are also funfair rides and a slide that younger children will love - these are located about halfway down the pier. The pier sustained its first damage during a heavy storm in November 1878, when the landing stage under the pier sustained light damage. [10] The landwards extension to the same design, still in deep water and also supported on iron columns, was opened in 1884 and a new landing stage was added in 1891.

Towards the end of 1907, the owners announced intentions through an application to the Board of Trade to widen the pier, extend it by sea dredging and to construct pavilions and a tramway. [11] By 1908, the pier would often be overcrowded during the summer season, causing inconvenience to passengers boarding and alighting from steamboats. [12]
