This image is undated. In the background the underdeveloped look of East Parade indicates probably early 1900s. This part of the beach (east of the pier) was for gentlemen bathers although there appears to be a stray nanny paddling with children bottom right. Near the water's edge are bathing machines (changing rooms on wheels).

Most bathing machines were the other side of the pier for lady bathers who were more modest of course. Eventually Rhyl would be among the first resorts to allow mixed bathing.
