Burry Port Beach is a long, mostly sandy beach with some pebbles to the east of the marina. The beach is backed by sand dunes, and a long coastal path takes visitors to Llanelli, which lies east of the beach. The area is popular for watersports such as boating from the marina, which has its own lighthouse. Walkers also enjoy the surroundings, although there are warning signs about the dangers of walking on the sandbanks and also about swimming in the area.
The marina at Burry Port is a small, attractive harbour favoured by small yachts and fishing vessels with a high tidal range. Big boats can only access the port at high tide. The marina has a local yacht club, pub, and shops. Parking, for which there is a small charge, can be found around the marina, as well as facilities such as toilets, cafes, and a harbour office. More facilities can be found in the town centre of Burry Port, a few hundred meters away, including a range of shops and a railway station.
The lighthouse at Burry Port divides the beach into east and west. Burry Port West is quiet and unspoilt, backed by a holiday park. From this part of the beach, you can walk along to the historic Pembrey Harbour. Burry Port East has the RNLI lifeboat station and plenty of parking. Here, you can walk along the beach and take the Millennium Coastal path.
The former coal mining town of Burry Port is now popular with golf enthusiasts and walkers, with Pembrey Burrows, a wetland ecosystem, and Pembrey Country Park to the west of the marina. While swimming is permitted, it's advisable to check local conditions and be cautious, as there are no lifeguard services on the beach.
Burry Port Beach is adjacent to the Wales Coast Path.
