Tiny patch of sand on British beach with stunning panoramic views goes up for sale for staggering price - but you'll have to build your own hut to go with it
A tiny patch of sand on a UK beach has gone on the market with a six figure price tag.
Nestled between beach huts on Porth Mawr in Abersoch, Wales, the sliver of land is up for sale for £100,000, the price of a flat or even a small house in parts of the country.
The location had previously housed a wooden shack too but this was damaged in storms and pulled down by the owner.
Planning permission has been secured from Cyngor Gwynedd for a new beach hut despite it being branded an 'overdevelopment' by Llanengan Community Council.
The piece of land is on the market with Elvins Estate Agents who say it 'beautiful panoramic views across the bay towards St Tudwals Islands and Machroes Beach'.
They said: 'An exciting opportunity to acquire a beach hut plot on Abersoch main beach with planning permission to build a new hut.
'Benefit from owning your own part of Abersoch beach with the convenience of storage and shelter at the waters edge. Beautiful panoramic views across the bay towards St Tudwals Islands and Machroes Beach.
'We believe the property to be Freehold, but potential purchasers should seek clarification from their solicitor prior to an exchange of contracts.'
In the planning application, applicant Jonathan Edwards said: 'The site is on the coast line of Porth Mawr Beach, Abersoch in a line of similar beach huts running north from the beach access toward the Sailing Club.
'The building will only be used as a Beach Hut and no heating will be provided and also no requirement for foul waste will be required.
'The rainwater from the roof will discharge directly into the sand which is what occurs presently with the existing beach hut and every beach hut adjacent.
Porth Mawr beach runs at nearly half a mile in length and is known among locals for its golden sand and is mainly backed by the dunes.

Thunderstorm warning issued as parts of England and Wales face weekend deluge
Heavy rain, gusty winds and thunderstorms are set to hit parts of England and Wales on Saturday, with forecasters warning of possible disruption. A yellow weather warning for thunderstorms has been issued by the Met Office, coming into effect at 9am and lasting until 6pm. Forecasters said the weekend will bring frequent heavy showers – some thundery – with a chance of hail and strong winds. Up to 40mm of rain could fall in just a few hours, which is more than England saw during the entire month of May. Met Office data shows England recorded 32.8mm of rain last month – almost half the usual monthly average. Dan Suri, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: 'Frequent heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected for much of Saturday, before they fade from the west during the mid-to-late afternoon. 'It's possible that 10-15mm of rain could fall in less than an hour, while some places could see 30-40mm of rain over several hours from successive showers and thunderstorms. 'Frequent lightning, hail and strong, gusty winds are also possible.' He added: 'While brisk winds ensure that most places in the warning area will be hit by showers, not all places will see thunderstorms. 'In this case it's difficult to predict where exactly thunderstorms will hit because they are small and fast changing. 'One analogy we use to picture the complexity of this forecasting challenge is comparing it to boiling a pan of water and having to guess exactly where and when the bubbles will appear. 'We know some will, but only in certain places, and that is why thunderstorms are so hard to predict.' Conditions are expected to improve on Sunday, with a drier day forecast for many, though showers may linger in parts of the north and east.

Thunderstorm warning issued across large parts of England and Wales includes risk of intense downpours and frequent lightning
A yellow warning for thunderstorms has been issued for large parts of England and Wales today. The Met Office warning covers most of southern England, parts of the Midlands and most of South Wales between 9am until 6pm. People in the affected areas are being warned heavy showers and thunderstorms may lead to some disruption to transport services. The UK's weather agency has also warned of frequent lightning, hail and strong gusty winds. Delays to train services are possible and some short-term losses of power are also likely. Met Office meteorologist Alex Burkill said Saturday morning will start with "plenty of showery rain around". "[There's] the risk of some intense downpours, especially across southern parts where there's likely to be some thunder kicking off, and this brings some hail and some frequent lightning with it as well. "It's across southern parts where we have the greatest risk of some disruption and that's because there's the potential for some torrential downpours with 10 to 15mm perhaps in just an hour or so. "We could see totals building up 30 to 40mm in some places if you get a few downpours one after the other... there could be some localised flooding as well." Mr Burkill also explained that next week could see further downpours. Potentially "some wetter and windier weather" could hit northwestern areas of the UK late on Monday and into Tuesday as a low-pressure system moves in, he said, adding that the position of the weather front remains uncertain. 2:31 The wet weather comes days after the Met Office said the UK had its warmest spring on record - and its driest for 50 years. Provisional figures showed spring temperatures surpassed the long-term average by 1.4C - with a mean temperature of 9.5C (49.1F). That beat the previous warmest spring recorded in 2024. Temperature records were broken in all four nations in the UK - with 1.64C above the long-term average in Northern Ireland, 1.56C above average in Scotland, 1.39C in Wales and 1.35C in England. Forecasters have also predicted the UK is set for a hotter than usual summer - with an increased risk of heatwaves over the next three months. In records dating back to 1884, the Met Office said eight of the 10 warmest springs had occurred since 2000 - and the three warmest had been since 2017, in a sign of the changing climate. Conditions were also incredibly dry this spring, with an average of 128.2mm of rain falling in the UK across March, April and May - the lowest spring total since 1974, which saw 123.2mm.
