What visitors say

Alex Turp

What a great day down in Whitmore Bay. Sand was wonderful. The bay was a great location had loads to see and do. From Nessa’s Arcade chippy to the pleasure rides. Also we have loads of shops with Gavin and Stacey official merchandise. You can also get your photo with Nessa in her famous change booth. The walked was lovely we walk was all the way along the coast. The walk was easy-medium not every strenuous.

Really lovely promenade and good selection or covered up stores right on the beach which is a great idea. Beach was also very nice.

Enjoyable time at this lovely beach, we didn't have to set foot on the sand. Plenty to do on the bay.
