Conway harbour offers good shelter from all directions except in strong winds from North to North West when there can be some swell in the river. There are two marinas one on either side of the river in Conwy and Deganwy. Conwy marina is located at the river entrance on the starboard side and Deganwy is 200 metres farther up on the port side. There are also numerous swinging moorings available
Despite rumours to the contrary, it is fairly easy to enter the river
Approaching Conwy from seaward the landfall mark is the Fairway Buoy, 53°17.965N 003° 55.556 W, spherical white with vertical red stripes, L. Fl 10s.
From the Fairway follow the buoys on the downloadable data sheet which can be downloaded by clicking on this link.

The main channel runs down the starboard side of the river and, passes between the two sections of the pontoon, as far as the town quay.
Please note the following:
Until familiar with the channel access is recommended only in daylight and between HW-3 and HW+2. If Conwy sands are covered there is enough water in the channel for boats drawing 6ft to enter. Beware strong tidal stream in the narrows at Deganwy. Within the harbour beware unlit channel markers and moorings which may be semi-submerged in the tide. There is a 10 mph (8 knot) speed limit in the river.
