AN OCTOPUS was spotted washed up on the beach in West Shore.
George Good spotted the invertebrate on Saturday, March 14 at about 7am when he was out walking his dogs.
He saw a 'strange motionless object' in the distance. Upon closer inspection, George took photos and posted them on Facebook group 'You Know You Are From Llandudno' to make other walkers aware.

Speaking to the Pioneer, George said: "I have to vigilant to make sure Lu, my Lhasa, doesn't find anything unpleasant she might want to bring back.
"When I realised what it was, I simply thought I'd better take a few photos and post it online to make others, that may be heading there, aware of it.
"It must've measured a little over a foot long."
George's photos attracted more than 400 reactions on Facebook and 130 plus comments.
One person wrote: "Poor thing. So sorry to see any dead creature."
"I have never seen one washed up before. That’s very sad to see," one person replied.
Another posted: "Wow its mahoosive."
Another user said: "Gorgeous creatures. Keep looking out for one when I go snorkelling overseas. Never been lucky enough."
