Millennium Coastal Park

Millennium Coastal Park is a recreational area stretching along the Carmarthenshire coastline with walking and cycling routes that run from Bynea to Penbre. The site includes open grassland, wooded sections, tidal areas, and former industrial land that visitors can explore freely on foot or by bike.

This was formerly an industrial zone with docks and factories before being transformed from the early 2000s into a public recreation area. The redevelopment saved the coastline from further decline and redirected it toward conservation and public use.

The tidal zones here shift with the seasons, revealing different marine creatures and plants that catch the eye of casual walkers. Local people use these paths daily, mixing recreation with a sense of caring for this stretch of coastline.

The main spots for parking and bike rentals are at Bynea, North Dock, and Penbre, with cafes and restrooms available along the way. It pays to time your walk for higher tide, as some areas turn muddy at low tide, and sturdy footwear is always wise.

A memorial in the park marks where an aviation pioneer completed her Atlantic flight in 1928, a connection to early air travel that many visitors overlook. This link to flying history adds an unexpected layer to a coastal walk.
