Police are seeking information about a black vehicle believed to have been in the area at the time of the incident.
A motorcyclist has died after crashing on the Great Orme in Llandudno and subsequently falling into the sea. North Wales Police responded to reports of a motorcycle crash on Marine Drive at approximately 10:31 p.m. GMT on Thursday.
A multi-agency response, including police, the RNLI, and HM Coastguard, was initiated. The motorcyclist was recovered from the water and airlifted to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor, where he was pronounced dead.
The incident occurred about one mile from the Toll House, in the direction of the Great Orme summit. The Great Orme is a prominent headland rising to 207 meters (679 feet) above sea level, characterized by sheer cliffs.

The family of the deceased has been informed, and the coroner has been notified. Sergeant Alun Jones stated that the force's thoughts are with the man's family and friends during this difficult period.
