British beachgoers watched in awe as a "mini tornado" sent a paddleboard and towels flying into the air at a packed seaside resort.
Day-trippers scrambled to save their belongings amid shouts of 'what on earth' and 'woah' while the twister whirled across the sand in Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire.
Shocking footage shows people's personal items drift away as if by magic, to both gasps and laughs of disbelief.
One beachgoer, commenting on a lost item that has been flung far afield, observed: 'That's like gone gone'.
Despite being a fairly rare occurrence, the dust-devil - small but 'vigorous' whirlwind - came almost exactly a year after a pub was struck just two miles away.
