Cefn Sidan, roughly translated from
Welsh, means “Satin Sands”. This long sandy beach and its dunes form the outer edge of the
Pembrey Burrows between
Burry Port and
Kidwelly, looking southwards over
Carmarthen Bay in South Wales.
The sands were treacherous to sailing ships. In fact, Napoleon’s niece was among its victims and is buried at St Illtyds Church,
Pembrey.
Today [mappress mapid=”10″] forms part of the
Pembrey Country Park leisure and nature complex.
