Aberavon beach has 3 miles of sandy beach and the seafront has two miles of flat promenade making it very popular with cyclists and walkers alike.
The promenade is part of the “Sustrans” Route 4 which is a long distance route between London and Fishguard. The route is traffic free along the promenade and offers excellent views across Swansea bay.
The wide sandy beach has views across Swansea Bay to Mumbles. The beach has plenty of room for everyone to have fun safely, without getting in anyone’s way. It is very popular with surfers, jet skiers, windsurfers and kite surfers. It is also safe for swimming, kayaking and boating.
Aberavon Seafront is fast becoming the destination for a great family day out, even in the cold…On a hot day the safe sandy beach is a haven for hundreds of people enjoying either swimming in the sea or the aqua splash play pool, which is conveniently located on the promenade and is a great draw for the kids.
