Abersoch Harbour
Abersoch Harbour
The tide's out, the outer harbour at Abersoch North Wales. During the summer months this part of Wales becomes a magnet for all water sport enthusiasts.

Property in this area has gone sky high in value since Abersoch's humble beginnings of a resort in the 1950s and 1960s. Prince Philip had a Dragon Class Racing Sail Boat there for many of those early years.

Now the small village even has its own outdoor rave concerts on part of the headland to the right and above the white cottages in this photo.
