Darwin Escapes’ Talacre Beach Resort is celebrating its 60th anniversary.
The holiday park, on the North Wales coast, has been welcoming visitors since the 1960s.
The 44-acre site is home to more than 450 caravans and lodges, and attracts 'thousands of holidaymakers each year.'
The resort was given a £1 million redevelopment, which included investment in the clubhouse and accommodation facilities, access to the pool, and a new games area and children’s playground.
Sales manager Chris Williams, who has worked at the resort since 2004, said: "Talacre Beach Resort opened in the 1960s and has always been hugely popular, notably with people from the Midlands and the north of England.
"Most of our owners live within a two-hour radius as they have children or are retirees, but we have had several generations of the same family here which shows you how much they love it.
"I’ve worked at the park under two different ownerships and there has always been a real community feeling, and since the transformation under Darwin Escapes there has been even more for people to enjoy."
The resort has had a 'strong start' to the autumn season, with an influx of new owners joining the 'five-star tourist board award-winning park.'
Mr Williams believes the redevelopment of the wider location and neighbouring activities and attractions, such as the Point of Ayr lighthouse and RSPB nature reserve, amusement arcades, cafes and bars, and traditional ice cream parlour, are additional USPs which draw people to the area.
He said: "Despite the many people who visit us every year, this part of the coast is still something of a hidden gem.
"Talacre is a fantastic place and there is so much to do, especially here on the park where we also have a tropical swimming pool, state-of-the-art gym suite, bar and restaurant, play areas and more, as well as a busy calendar packed with live events and activities.
"But for many the biggest selling point is the beautiful beach, taking in the sea air and being away from the hustle and bustle of the built-up towns and cities and urban areas they travel from, it gives them a much-needed escape from the day to day.
"I think one of the biggest factors in our success and longevity is trust; we have owners who have been with us for decades, they appreciate the transparency and tend to be aspirational.
"Many began with a lower range caravan and have upgraded over the years to high-end lodges or their dream holiday home, which is lovely to see - as we grow, they grow with us and vice versa.
"I’ve seen so many things change over the last 20 years but there has been one constant and that’s the smiles on people’s faces when they open the doors to their caravan for the very first time – long may that continue, and here’s to another 60 years in Talacre for Darwin Escapes."
