Rare octopus sighting stuns Tenby locals

A walk on Tenby’s North Beach just turned into a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounter—a rare, color-changing octopus was spotted right on the sand! Locals are buzzing about this surprise visitor, especially since octopuses usually stay hidden underwater. Experts say warmer winters and springs have led to a boom in octopus numbers, making 2025 the so-called “Year of the Octopus.” While it’s amazing to see these clever creatures up close, there’s concern about their impact on local shellfish and the wider marine ecosystem. Have you ever seen anything like this on our beaches? What do you think about these changes in our coastal wildlife? #Entertainment #Painting #Tenby
