Swansea Beach, the waterfront beach for the city of Swansea, stretches for five miles between the Maritime Quarter and the ‘Knab Rock’ near Mumbles in Wales. Popular since Victorian times, the beach throngs with sun-lovers during the summer months who come for the dunes, golden sands and fine swimming. It’s recommended by the Marine Conservation Society for the quality of its water and the cleanliness of the sand.

If a restful holiday is part of your travel plans, Aberavon Beach might be the perfect place to visit during your trip to Port Talbot. Stroll along the area's seaside or simply enjoy its restaurants.
