Part of the coastal path between Porthdinllaen and the Lifeboat hut has been temporarily closed, following concerns about the stability of the land above the path.
The decision has been made to protect public health, and the Coastal Path team in Gwynedd will continue to monitor the situation.
A diversion is in place and the alternative route is shown on the map (green).
Parts of the route have had to be closed over the past few months due to landslides and we advise anyone who intends to use the route to check any diversions beforehand.
For details about any checks and parts of the route that are temporarily closed, visit https://orlo.uk/MToDY for the latest information.
We will share further information when any update about this part of the route is available.

Lifesaving ‘Float to live’ advice and collaboration led to the successful rescue of a woman cut off by the tide in Merseyside this morning.

At around 7.30am on 20 March, a large multi-agency search was launched when the dog walker called 999 after becoming caught off by the tide and with the water around her increasingly getting higher.

With help on its way, she was given the float to live advice.

A complex search in foggy conditions took place for around two hours, but with emergency services working together the woman was finally found floating by the RNLI lifeboat and brought to shore.

HM Coastguard Area Commander Michael Buratti said: “I would like to thank our emergency service colleagues and partner agencies who supported the incident and all contributed to it being brought to a safe and positive conclusion.”

Turning to safety, Mike said: “We are fortunate to have an absolutely stunning coastline that we would encourage people to visit and enjoy safely. Before visiting, it is essential to check the weather forecast and local tide times, and to understand how the tide will behave during your visit. If the tide is coming in, do not venture too far out on to the beach, as there is a real risk of becoming cut off.”

Remember:
• Know the tide times – starting a coastal walk as the tide is going out gives you more time to return safely and reduces the risk of being cut off by the tide.
• Float to live - if you find yourself in difficulty in the water, relax and float by tilting your head back with your ears submerged.
• Call 999 and ask for the Coastguard - We are here to respond if you are in difficulty or see someone who needs help.

The Met Office has issued multiple yellow and amber warnings across the UK. Storm Chandra is expected to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and snow from Monday night into Tuesday.

Coastal areas, including the Isles of Scilly, western Cornwall, and southwest Wales, can expect wind gusts of up to 80mph.

During a storm:

• Stay away from the shoreline to reduce the chances of being swept away
• Keep your distance as large waves can throw around shingle and debris
• If you see someone get carried away by a wave, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard

Visit the HM Coastguard website to find out more about how to stay safe during a storm.
