Vehicle strandings at Traeth y Graig Ddu beach in Gwynedd increased significantly in 2025, with an estimated 30 cars and motorhomes recovered. A local farmer using a tractor performed most rescues as drivers, often from cities, misjudged the rapid tides and parked too low on the sand. Approximately one-third of the vehicles were submerged by seawater, leading to likely insurance write-offs.
