A FLOOD alert has been put in place for large parts of the North Wales coastline. 

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) issued the alert on Thursday (August 3), which covers areas along the North Wales coast from the Dee estuary to the east coast of Anglesey. 

The alert was issued following expectations of a high tide at 1.15am this morning (August 4). 

NRW warned residents to be careful on beaches, promenades and coastal footpaths due to 'dangerous' sea spray and waves that could contain debris.
