Laugharne Sands

Visit Laugharne Sands

Laugharne Sands is located just east of Pendine, along the Carmarthen Bay coastline in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The beach stretches along to Ginst Point.

This a sandy unspoilt beach famous for being the last home of Wales’s most famous poet and writer Dylan Thomas. A famous literary location, you can visit the boathouse where the poet spent the last four years of his life.

You can enjoy water sports at Laugharne Sands, like kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and swimming in the calm water. While you might not find equipment rentals directly at the beach, nearby places usually offer rentals and guided tours. Just remember that there are no lifeguards on duty, so be careful and know your swimming skills while having fun.

The Wales Coast Path runs through here and visitors can visit the medieval remains of  Laugharne Castle which looks out over the Taf estuary.

For a weekend away, stay at one of the holiday cottages in the area and take in the local history.

Laugharne Sands is dog friendly all year round.
