A man has been flown to hospital after falling 30ft on rocks at an Anglesey beach.

A major rescue operation was launched to save the man who was injured at White Beach in Llangoed, near Beaumaris, at around 1.15am today.

Police, paramedics, Moelfre coastguard team, Moelfre RNLI's all weather lifeboat and the team's inshore lifeboat, and the coastguard's Rescue 936 helicopter were all called-out to help rescue the man as water from the incoming tide approached.

The man was airlifted to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor with head and back injuries.

It is understood that the man and the group he was with were breaking coronavirus "stay local" restrictions.

A coastguard spokesman said that the group are being dealt with by police for "breaking the Covid-19 restrictions in Wales".

The incident came to an end at around 4am.
