Pentywyn (Pendine) became a global focal point in the early 20th century, when record-breaking vehicles thundered along the 7 mile long beach in pursuit of ever-greater speeds. Today, that extraordinary legacy is brought vividly to life in a striking, family-friendly museum located right on the edge of the famous sands.

At the heart of the museum is an experience designed to spark curiosity in all ages. Interactive displays, powerful personal stories and a strong sense of place reveal how Pentywyn’s sands have been shaped not only by racing legends, but also by science, engineering and wartime history. It’s a place to learn, play and imagine - whether you’re visiting with children, exploring Welsh history, or following a passion for motoring heritage.
