WITH restrictions gradually easing in Wales some may be hoping to visit Barry Island.

Barry Island has 24 beach huts - which are up and running and ready to be booked - on Whitmore Bay, which provide a useful base for families and groups of people visiting.

Barry Island's beach huts vary in size - the small huts are 2.5m x 1.8m and offer a convenient base for people hoping to explore the coastline, while the larger huts (2.4m x 2.5m) also have access to running water. Both small and large huts have electrical sockets.
