Albion Bay

Albion Bay  June 19th 2025
It has suddenly turned really warm; I painted this picture during similar weather in June 2018.  Marloes Sands is to your left; the tidal island of Gateholm closes this bay in to the south; across the sound is Skokholm.  You can easily look up the Albion’s story: that black post rising out of the breakers is one of her paddle shafts.  Not a beach to be visited casually: access is tricky, with much boulder scrambling after a scratchy descent; and, the tide cuts it off in grand style!
