Pendine Sands is a sand and shingle beach situated at the bottom of a cliff top, overlooking Carmarthen Bay and surrounded by pleasant, hilly countryside.

Ragwen Point, a significant coastal landmark, is known for its scenic views and historical importance, having been the site of military exercises during World War II.

Visitors can access Ragwen Point by walking along the cliff top path from Pendine Sands or following the track through the woods from Pendine Hill. This secluded beach is dog-friendly all year round, offering a wide open space to escape the crowds.
