Photograph by David Coleman. The image captures the Menai Strait as seen from Beaumaris, a historic town on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales. The Menai Strait is a narrow stretch of tidal water about 16 miles (25 km) long that separates the island of Anglesey from the mainland of Wales. This body of water is not just a geographical feature but a defining element of the local landscape and ecosystem. From Beaumaris, the view across the Strait likely encompasses the mainland shore, with the mountains of Snowdonia rising dramatically in the background on clear days. This juxtaposition of water, coastline, and mountains creates a spectacular panorama that is characteristic of North Wales. The Menai Strait is renowned for its strong tidal currents, which have shaped the coastline and influenced local maritime activities for centuries. These currents contribute to the Strait's rich marine biodiversity, making it a haven for various species of fish, birds, and marine mammals. For Beaumaris, the Strait is more than just a scenic backdrop. It has played a crucial role in the town's history and continues to be central to its identity as a coastal community. The town's pier, visible in the foreground, serves as a departure point for pleasure boats and wildlife-watching trips that explore the Strait and its surroundings.
