A man questioned following the death of a man at Barmouth beach has been released on bail.
A 34 year-old man was pronounced dead by emergency services after he was found in the water on Bank Holiday Monday.
He has not been named publicly but his family are being supported by specialist liaison officers and the local coroner has been informed.
Detectives say a 24 year-old man from the Birmingham area was arrested on suspicion of murder but he's since been released while assisting officers with their enquiries.
Patrols have been stepped up in the area for reassurance and North Wales Police are still appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Detective Superintendent Chris Bell said: "I would like to thank all members of the public who assisted the man on the beach on Monday, and to everybody who has contacted us since."
"We have received an overwhelming response from the public, which is incredibly helpful to our enquiries."
"I am continuing to urge anybody with who was at Barmouth beach on Monday 25 May and witnessed the incident, and hasn’t already spoken to police, to get in touch."
"I am also re-appealing to anybody who was on the beach between 2pm and 4pm who took any photos and videos to send them to us as soon as possible."
"We are interested in all photos or videos taken on any part of the beach during the afternoon. Any image could be relevant to our investigation."
“My thoughts remain with the man's family at this difficult time.”
Anyone with information or any photos or footage of the incident should visit the major incident page on the North Wales Police website or call 101. Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
