Take a stroll on this lovely local beach with great views across to Llansteffan. 8 minute drive away or take the train.

Trains to Carmarthen and the west and also to Swansea, Cardiff, London and Manchester. It's a request stop so stick your arm out!

Finally Ferryside regains it’s Ferry. As from 17th August and new ferry service will run from Ferryside to Llansteffan. The new amphibious boat is set to ferry people across the waters in Carmarthenshire. Passengers will be able to climb aboard on the beach before the vessel uses its motorised wheels to launch itself into the Tywi estuary. The last ferry between Ferryside and Llansteffan ended in the 1950s. In the old days it used a sail to cross but the new service has twin engines like a speed boat and wheels travelling at 4mph on dry land. The crossing dates back 1,000 years and it was popular with 19th and early 20th Century tourists from the south Wales valleys during "miners' fortnight

Take a walk along the beach, tuck into a tasty bag of fish and chips or enjoy a cheeky ice cream!
