Pendine Resorts

Pendine, 13 miles from Carmarthen on the A4066, is best known for its vast expanse of Blue Flag status beach, stretching seven miles from Gilmore Point to Laugharne Sands.
A popular seaside resort with a beach that stretches for five miles, Pendine has gone down in motoring history as the place where Malcolm Campbell set a land speed record in ‘Blue Bird’ in 1927. Earlier the flat stretch of sand had witnessed the death of another speed king, J.G. Parry-Jones, in his 27-litre car called ‘Babs’. His vehicle was eventually dug out of the sands in 1969 and a restored version of this car can be seen at Pendine’s Museum of Speed. In 1933 Amy Johnson set out from here in her attempt to fly to America.
