Burry Holmes Beach

To the immediate north of the tidal islet of Burry Holmes, Llangennith, lays a tiny bay of firm, clean sand. Not even given a name on Ordnance Survey maps, this bay is, however, a very respectable and beautiful stretch of beach and more than rewards those who make the effort to take the trek across sand and cliff from either Llangennith or Broughton to reach it. As well as its picturesque quality, the stretch of rock from here to Broughton (Spaniard Rocks) became famous in the past for the amount of Spanish gold coins found from some long forgotten shipwreck.
