Pendine Sands
Pendine Sands and its fabulous 7-mile sandy beach has for generations attracted holidaymakers with a unique selling point of still being able to drive a car on the beach and as being a mecca for world breaking speed attempts (cars to motorbike to sheds!)
In recent years, the resort has benefitted from a multi-million-pound regeneration. Already completed is a traffic free 500m promenade overlooking and giving easy access to the beach, a beach facing commercial centre (Parry Thomas Centre) that is fully let with businesses ranging from kayak hire, coffee and ice cream to a hugely popular first-floor Asian Fusion restaurant.
Located within the county of Carmarthenshire, South West Wales, 15 miles west of the County town of Carmarthen and 15 miles east of one of the UK’s most popular tourist resorts, Tenby.

Museum of Land Speed
Construction is currently ongoing for a new modern state-of-the art Museum which will house fascinating information about the amazing vehicles that have made it into the record books at the Museum of Land Speed. This is replacing the older popular Museum in its entirety.
This amazing stretch of sand has seen many land-speed records set and then broken. Perhaps the most famous being by Sir Malcolm Campbell in 1923 in his car “Blue Bird” and J.G. Parry Thomas in his car “Babs”. Since then, it still plays host to land speed records (Garden Sheds to Motorbikes), international events (classic cars to American Hod Rods) and is regularly used by film and TV companies (Top Gear to Idris Elba).
The new museum due to open in Spring 2023 will offer an exhilarating experience through an array of modern interactive exhibits including those in a video cave, those in the digital hub located on a mezzanine floor with its stunning panoramic views of the beach as well as physical artefacts from the past. Individual and group bookings are welcomed.
Additional resort and facility enhancements
Additional improvements include those to car parking, access, cycle lockers and landscaping including the formation of garden areas as well as brand-new outdoor kids adventure play area, hard standing exhibition, display and event arena, an off-beach sand facility for sport tournaments.
