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.
Cardiff is the largest city (by population) in Wales with the city of Swansea being a close second. The advantages of the city to travelers is that it is a coastal city so you have the benefits of a seaside resort coupled with those of a modern city and on top of this you are easily in reach of some of Britain's finest beaches.
As well and the breathtaking beaches in the area Swansea has a multitude of tourist attractions which help make it such a popular vacation destination. You have all the bonuses of the open sea together with the awesome countryside minutes away plus all of the modern amenities and entertainment facilities you would expect in a modern city.
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.
Lounging around on a sun kissed beach is great for some folk, paddling or swimming is great for others but for some this type of thing is far too leisurely. If you fall into the latter category you will, most probably, be pleased to hear that virtually any water sport is popular in Swansea Bay. You will see plenty of yachts and dinghies but surfing, water skiing and the likes are also incredibly popular.
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.
