New Cliff Collapse at Nefyn Beach Triggers Urgent Safety Response

Ongoing mud flow on unstable cliffs signals high risk of more falls.

Overview

  • Police report a fresh landslide near the Nefyn beach car park and warn people to stay well away from the cliff and shore.
  • The Police, Coastguard and local authority teams are carrying out urgent on-site checks to assess the hazard.
  • Cyngor Gwynedd says wet mud is still running down the face of the cliff, which means further movement remains likely.
  • Concrete blocks now mark off the slip zone to keep walkers back, with a council warning that the blocks can be hard to see at high tide for boat users.
  • The site has a long record of major failures, including a 40‑metre cliff loss in 2021 and a deadly slide in 2001, with more slips noted in late 2025 and early 2026.
