A man who suffered third-degree burns from hot sand after using a disposable barbecue on a beach has warned others to be aware of the dangers.
Sam Knight had been using it on Cefn Sidan Beach, Carmarthenshire, with his family and stepped on sand that was still hot.
The 27-year-old had to be carried off the beach after suffering badly blistered feet and needed weeks of treatment.
Experts at a burns centre say injuries such as this are becoming increasingly common and warned beachgoers to take precautions.
