No strong tides, dangerous currents or rocks. Parking available all year round in Pendine village.
The sand is about as good as it gets. This beach was used to stage five succesful World Land Speed Records in the 1920's at speeds of around 170mph. It's long and flat enough to land Hercules military transport aircraft on (and they have)
The bulk of the beach is owned by the MoD and is normally closed to the public between 7am to 5pm most weekdays (although there are exceptions). The beach is normally fully open at weekends and for Bank holidays.
Parking on the beach can be arranged by prior agreement with Carmarthen County Councils Beach Ranger department. The sand is perfect for all wind sports although kitesurfers may have to carry their kit out about a quarter mile at low tide.
Pendine village has good facilities for a resort of its size. There are a couple of good pubs, an off-license, post office, a few gift shops, several cafes and fish & chip shops along with some more up market restaurants for those who don't want 'something and chips'!
There are several camp sites in the local vicinity. There are no restrictions on overnight parking (although the car park gates are locked at 10pm and opened at 5:30am.

Parking
Pendine has chosen to be most unwelcoming for visitors as far as I can see.
The arrangements for parking a car are extreemly difficult and there is an
amusing hobby amongst residents or reporting the tiniest overstay or
transgression to the police. So watch out.
