Burry Port is a kind but thorny fishing town in West Wales, with a wild, beautiful coast as its glistening apron and green, feathered hills for a background. Blink and you drive through it but should you choose to stay a while, there is a whole host of things to see and learn about from looters to whirlpools. Welcome to Burry!

Classic Harbour View
The harbour has changed a lot these last few years with the arrival of the Millenium Coastal Park but here are a few snaps of how it looked when swimming was allowed (as well as crane jumping). You can see the Carmarthe Bay Powers Station in the photo below. In fact not far from where that was taken was another hang out spot, used to love popping a few cold ones down here in the summer. (Mind you it didn't need to be summer). The water is always in now because of the new locks but before those arrived, the harbour stank of mud, stale fish and seaweed when the tide was out. Not necessarily a bad smell, just very different compared to when it was in.
