On a warm, sunny day in Wales, there are few better places to be than Whitesands Bay. The beach is renowned for its golden sands and magnificent sunsets, with people coming from far and wide to enjoy the spot’s delights. Though many visitors to these shores may be unaware of the creepy things buried beneath them. Yep, hidden under the area’s natural beauty is something eerie and sinister.

For hundreds of years, Whitesands Bay remained pretty stable and its secrets consequently stayed hidden from view. That started to change in the 1920s, though, when archeologists began digging in the area. But since around 2013, extreme weather events have hit and stirred up the beach’s sands. With that, hints of further mysteries contained beneath began to emerge – forcing experts to conduct so-called “rescue excavations.”
