Pendine is a small coastal village and community on the south coast of Carmarthenshire in Wales, best known for the vast sweep of Pendine Sands that runs along Carmarthen Bay. The flat, straight beach became famous in the 1920s when land speed pioneers used it to chase records, and that legacy still shapes the village's identity; dunes, salt marshes and wide horizons make it a striking spot for walking, birdwatching and watersports.
Locally the economy is seasonal and largely driven by tourism, from holiday cottages to café trade, with community life revolving around the shoreline and occasional motor and heritage events. Despite its small size, Pendine combines a strong sense of history with a focus on conservation and coastal enjoyment, and it sits within easy reach of other attractions such as Laugharne and the wider Carmarthenshire coast.
