Sandy Water Park, Llanelli

YOU ARE HERE: HOME SANDY WATER PARK, LLANELLI

A beautiful wildlife haven

Ducks foraging the grassy water banks, swans serenely gliding across the glistening surface, cormorants drying their wings in the warm sunshine, herons darting for fish along the shallow banks, there's quite a lot to take in at this superb wetland habitat. Entry to the site is free but parking is pay and display.

Take a leisurely walk around the mostly flat lakeside footpath, ideal for prams or wheelchairs (north side path has a fine gravel surface but is quite solid). Feed the ducks or relax alongside the water's edge, take your own picnic or take advantage of the café/restaurant at the eastern corner of the lake. Just a short walk to the south of the lake, up a short hill, you'll discover a route to Llanelli's golden, sandy beach ...a bonus extension to your walk perhaps!

Important!

When feeding the swans be careful, they tend to hiss and peck if you get too close.
If riding your bike around the lake, go slowly, watch out for walkers.
Please keep your dog on a lead and clean up any poo!
