Police Urge Public to Keep Away as Landslides Wreck Property at Nefyn Beach

Authorities say the site remains an active landslip with further falls possible.

Overview

  • Three collapses were logged beneath Lon Penrallt this week—on December 15, at midday on December 17, and a more destructive slide afterward, likely overnight.
  • At least one boathouse has been declared a write-off, and inspections of neighboring properties are on hold because conditions are unsafe.
  • Cyngor Gwynedd says staff from Maritime and YGC services have assessed the scene, the Coastguard has been notified, and a section of coastline has been cordoned off.
  • Nearby footpaths are closed and warning signs are in place, though the Wales Coast Path has not been affected at this stage.
  • Officials report the damaged buildings were unoccupied, note water is still moving through the slope, and caution that additional ground may yet give way.
