Marros Sands, Sand beach in Carmarthenshire, Wales

Marros Sands extends between Amroth and Pendine, featuring steep cliffs to the north and a combination of sand and pebble areas along the shore.

In 1886, a 71-foot schooner named Rover deliberately beached on these sands during a Force 11 gale while carrying a cargo of culm.

The beach maintains its natural character and attracts visitors seeking isolation, with limited development compared to neighboring coastal areas in Wales.

Access requires a one-mile walk from Marros village through a path that leads to the beach, followed by a steep ascent when returning.

During low tide, visitors can observe a submerged forest of alder, oak, and willow trees dating back 4,000 to 6,000 years.
