This authentic 1960s colour photograph, captured in 1967, documents the popular outdoor swimming pool at the Prestatyn Holiday Camp in Denbighshire, North Wales. The archival image highlights the camp’s celebrated modernist design, featuring a curved, white-rendered lido building with a nautical-style observation deck and a tiered glass-brick fountain in the foreground. Bunting stretches across the pool area, where holidaymakers are seen swimming, sunbathing on lounge chairs, and drying off on wooden benches. The facility includes a professional-style diving platform with multiple levels, typical of the upscale amenities provided at the camp during its peak years. In the background, the natural sand dunes of the North Wales coast meet the perimeter of the resort. This factual record captures the vibrant leisure culture of the 1960s at a site that was once a premier destination for British families before its eventual closure in 1984.
