Every year we look for a suitable destinations for our annual vacations and while many of us try to find something fresh and exciting other are just as happy to return to a favorite vacation spot. The United Kingdom offers a wealth of highly suitable vacation destinations including the fantastic city of Swansea.
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.
So the beach lover is more than catered for but Swansea is perfect for virtually any type of vacation as it has a large number of excellent attractions. Of course the sea will keep many happy and the the stunning countryside will satisfy many others but the city itself has all of the twenty first century entertainments and amenities you would expect in an important city.
Popular Swansea Beaches
The surrounding area is known as the county of Swansea and the number of beaches within it's boundaries is astounding. The most popular beaches are found in the Gower Peninsila with Three Cliffs Bay and Oxwich Bay being the most widely known. Other beaches in the area include Rhossili Beach, Mumbles Beach, Brandy Cove, Foxhole Bay, Horton Bay and many more plus Swansea Bay itself.
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
As I have said earlier Swansea has all of the expected modern entertainments (cinema etc.) and amenities (bars, cafes, pubs and clubs) but the city also has it's fair share of museums, galleries and other cultural attractions. The Dylan Thomas Centre, in the Maritime Quarter, celebrates the local connections, which include Cwmdonkin Park (one of the places where he played during his childhood). There are plenty of parks and gardens to take a leisurely walk and cycling is also very popular (the Celtic Trail is great if you fancy a cycling vacation). Swansea really does have everything going for it.
