Boulders along the shoreline of Foryd Bay A high spring tide in the bay which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Local Nature Reserve. The mountains are about 9 miles away on the Llŷn Peninsula.

Turn back here After a stroll along the embankment from Rhyd-felen it was frustrating to find the way blocked at this point, which marks the end of the public right of way. Ahead were sufficient strands of barbed wire etc to make a route across the dunes to the west sie of the headland a less than attractive proposition. Braver souls might have carried on.

Inside the 'crook' of Abermenai Point A quite striking curve of differing surfaces: shingle, sand, dune grass and pretty pink flowers I'm not able to identify (anyone help?) and the misty mountains of the mainland beyond the low dunes.

Fort Belan Dock Belan Dock was largely constructed by the second Baron Newborough and completed in 1826. His passion for maritime life did much to shape Belan's history. The cottages that surround the tidal dock on three sides are used as holiday accommodation.
