Swansea - Maritime Quarter (closed)

An attractive quarter has developed around the modern yacht harbor of Swansea, which offers 600 moorings. In addition to the Dylan Thomas Theatre, the quay is lined with small fishermen's pubs and hotels. Working traditional looms can be seen in the industrial and marine museum housed in the Abbey woolen mill, as can part of the former Mumbles railroad and museum ships such as the former lightship "Helwick" and the 500 ton cutter "Katie Ann".

Swansea's long sandy beach offers good water sports facilities.

from the Mumbles Pier the White Funnel Fleet operates boat trips, particularly to the attractive Mumbles.
A major part of the permanent collection is now housed at the Swansea Museum Collections Centre at Landore, next to the Park and Ride carpark opposite Liberty Stadium.
