The Westshore situation explained.
WARDENS will be permanently stationed on the beach this summer after several rescues from sandbanks.
The wardens – to be known as seaboard inspectors – will be on Llandudno’s West Shore Saturday, May 5 until mid-September.
Conwy Harbour Master Matthew Forbes said that the seaboard inspectors will be stationed at West Shore during low water – when the sandbank becomes isolated from the beach.
He said: “They work a rota to ensure the beach is manned seven days a week, from 9am to 8pm. Their shifts are arranged around the times of low water, in order to ensure coverage when the ‘North Deep’ channel fills with water.
“The inspectors are equipped with a quad bike, which allows them to effectively patrol the beach and warn members of the public if they have moved too far out on the sands.
“They also have binoculars and hand-held radios.”
