Lighthouses and Long Exposure Photography. The Talacre sand dunes form the backdrop to the beach at Point of Ayr, in Flintshire, North Wales and makes for a perfect location for the photographer who loves seascapes, lighthouses and nature. The sand dunes overlook a large expanse of sand is on the western side of the River Dee and form part of the RSPB nature reserve which is popular with bird watchers and photographers alike – the Natterjack Toad is also a habitat of the sand dunes which have been designated as a site of special scientific interest. If lighthouses are your jam, then Welshot has got you covered there too – set, mid-beach the Point of Ayr Lighthouse which was built in 1776 provides a fantastic opportunity, especially if we get a sunset!
