Each year more and more people discover superb vacation destinations in the United Kingdom. While most folk choose to stay in London increasing numbers are looking to other UK cities as possible destinations suitable for short city breaks and one such city is the city of Swansea in Wales.
Second in size only to Cardiff (by number of inhabitants) Swansea is a wonderful city in which to stay during a vacation. Within a very short distance, from the city, you will find many beaches, at least two of which are considered the finest in Great Britain.
Besides the fantastic beaches, Swansea has a wealth of visitor attractions to entice you to have a vacation there. While the city has the sea in one direction and incredible scenery in the other, the city has all the usual entertainment facilities to keep you occupied for good amount of time.
Popular Swansea Beaches
Within the larger area of Swansea (Swansea county) there are so many fantastic beaches that they can not all be listed here but the two most famous are Oxwich Bay and Three Cliffs Bay. Among the many other beaches, besides Swansea Bay, are the beaches of Limeslade, Rotherslade, Horton Bay, Mewslade Bay, Pwlldu Bay and a great many more bays and coves.
While the beaches are popular with families, sun lovers and swimmers Swansea Bay is more well known (and most suited) for it's water sports. Sailing is highly popular and you will certainly see plenty of yachts (large and small), pleasure boats and small dinghies. Other popular sports are surfing and water skiing.
Other Tourist Attractions
Of course you could always settle for an incredible city break in Swansea. Like many UK cities Swansea has a number of fine galleries and museums to visit as well as a wealth of other cultural activities. Of special note is the National Waterfront Museum and the Dylan Thomas Centre should also be high on your list of places to visit. If you like parks and gardens then top of my list is Singleton Park which has a boating lake and botanical gardens and more.
