Pendine

A haven of glorious sands Pendine has something for all. A relaxing holiday destination for couples and families, a pinch out of history for those with a need for speed or a thrill seekers paradise.

Take in the scenery from the top of the cliff and make your way along the footpath that is part of the Wales Coast Path. Follow the path along the coast to witness the sea view over Carmarthen Bay running for just over four miles to the cove of Amroth.

Pendine’s famous eight mile sandy beach which for generations has attracted holiday makers with a unique selling point of still being able to drive a car on the beach as well as being a mecca for those seeking to make speed (Top Gear have filmed here as have various market leading car companies)

Pendine Sands as the location for numerous attempts at the land speed record, with the important history in land speed achievements from Bluebird Sunbeam & Campbell 1924, Parry Thomas and Babs in 1926 & 1927 to Guili Foresti ‘Djelmo ‘1927 and more recently Bluebird Electronic record, Guy Martin’s bicycle record and Idris Elba’s (one of the UK’s top earning actors) flying mile record. The Museum of Land Speed displays ‘Babs’, one of the cars that smashed the record, restored to her original glory. Today’s thrill seekers can try land yachting, kite buggying and power kiting: all, quite literally, ‘uplifting’ experiences that may see you take flight! (Albeit 8 inches above ground.) Water babies can explore the waves on a sea kayak or Stand Up Paddleboard, while romantics can gallop along the beach at sunset on a horse-riding tour.
