Sometimes the simplest moments are the most beautiful. 🌅

Follow the sandy path through the dunes and you’ll find views like this waiting for you on the coast near Harlech.

Golden light, peaceful shores and the sea stretching out towards the horizon — the perfect place to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy the beauty of Eryri.

Look to the skies over Harlech tomorrow!

Something rather special is happening tomorrow evening…

On Wednesday 12 August, a spectacular solar eclipse will be visible across Wales – and here in Harlech we should be treated to an incredible view, weather permitting!

At its peak at around 7:10pm, approximately 93% of the Sun will be obscured by the Moon, creating one of the most impressive partial solar eclipses visible from Wales in years.

And where better to watch the skies than Harlech? 💙

With our beautiful west-facing coastline, wide horizons and views out across Cardigan Bay, tomorrow evening could be one to remember.

🌑 Eclipse begins: around 6:15pm
🌞 Maximum eclipse: around 7:10pm
🌑 Eclipse ends: shortly after 8pm

If you’re in Harlech tomorrow, find yourself a good viewpoint, keep your fingers crossed for clear skies – and don’t forget your proper solar eclipse glasses. Never look directly at the Sun without certified eye protection.

📸 If you capture the eclipse over Harlech, we’d love to see your photographs!

Who’s going to be watching? 👀🌞🌑

🌊 Look what we found on Llandanwg Beach this morning!

These unusual little creatures are By-the-wind sailors (Velella velella).

Although they look similar to jellyfish, they’re actually floating colonies of tiny marine organisms called polyps. Their transparent, diagonal “sail” catches the wind and carries them across the surface of the ocean.

⚠️ Please take care: they can still cause a mild sting, even after they have washed ashore, so it’s best not to touch them—especially with bare hands.

Did anyone else spot them on the beach this morning?
