About
Pendine Sands is a sprawling 8‑mile sandy beach on the northern coast of Carmarthen Bay in Carmarthenshire, Wales. Renowned for hosting Malcolm Campbell and Parry‑Thomas’s historic land speed record attempts in the 1920s, the beach remains a living tribute to automotive history. Today, its wide dunes and consistent winds attract land sailing, kite buggying and kite landboarding enthusiasts. A modern promenade runs along the shore, offering public toilets, parking and the recently‑built Parry Thomas Centre, a community hub with restaurants and leisure facilities. Whether you’re chasing history, riding the dunes or simply soaking up the sun and sea, Pendine Sands delivers a classic Welsh beach experience.
