Ynys Gifftan, Tidal island in Dwyryd Estuary, Wales.
Rising 38 meters above sea level, Ynys Gifftan emerges from the waters of Traeth Bach, near the southeastern shore of the Dwyryd estuary.
The island contains an abandoned cottage that has remained empty since the mid-1960s, marking the end of permanent human habitation on this Welsh isle.
This landmass represents one of 43 tidal islands surrounding Great Britain, contributing to the maritime heritage of the Welsh coastline.
Access to Ynys Gifftan requires precise timing, as the connecting pathway remains accessible for only three hours before and after low tide.
The 5.4-kilometer trail to Ynys Gifftan crosses two river channels and demands navigation skills due to the absence of marked paths.
