Pendine is a small coastal village in Carmarthenshire, Wales, sitting on the northern edge of Carmarthen Bay and the Bristol Channel. Its long, flat expanse of sand - Pendine Sands - stretches for miles at low tide, offering wide open skies and views across to the Gower Peninsula, which makes it popular with walkers, kite-surfers and those who enjoy coastal driving where permitted.
The village is famous for the 1920s land-speed record attempts by drivers such as Malcolm Campbell and the fatal crash of J.G. Parry-Thomas, a piece of local history still remembered by visitors. Today Pendine’s economy revolves around seasonal tourism, holiday accommodation and beach-based recreation, giving it a lively summer feel while remaining a quiet, close-knit community for the rest of the year.
