Llanelli Beach

Formerly a heavily industrialised area, the Llanelli coast has been transformed into a major hub for walking, cycling and sporting events. Kite and wind surfers often frequent the beach taking advantage of the strong off shore winds. Several marathons, such as the Llanelli Half Marathon, take place throughout the year.

Part of the all Wales Coast Path and on the National Cycle network Route 4 (with Route 47 a close by connection) this golden, sandy beach is perfect for a relaxing bucket and spade day out in the Summer months or just a bracing walk along the promenade at any time of year. If you're not feeling energetic, then why not take advantage of the cafe/restaurant near the car park to relax, have a coffee and enjoy the panoramic views across Carmarthen Bay!

At the north end of the promenade the railway land bridge takes you across to Sandy Water Park, the perfect wildlife stop, feed the ducks and swans. A haven for all manner of water fowl.

Why not extend your walk or cycle southwards along the western side of the river Lliedi estuary to Machynys peninsula.

The beach promenade is an integral part of the Wales Coast Path and National Cycle Networks Route 4. Mainline railway station is approx. half a mile from the beach car park.
