No. 13 Prestatyn

This beach is exposed to the north with offshore wind farms in the distance, emphasising how windy this place can get. The bulk of the beach was largely clean, but this may be because along shore drift was sweeping debris along the beach and it was getting caught in the groynes which are spaced all along this coast line. Inspection of one of the groins revealed plastic packaging and a disposable glove, trapped between the rocks.  There were quite a lot of razor shells along the beach.
