About

Sandfields East is a coastal ward situated directly along Swansea Bay. Its landscape is defined by a long pebble beach and a prominent promenade that runs parallel to the shoreline. The area is primarily residential, with housing ranging from traditional terraced homes to modern apartment developments overlooking the sea. The local economy is supported by a mix of small independent shops and services catering to the community.

The wide, level promenade is a central feature for walking and cycling, connecting to the wider coastal path. At low tide, extensive areas of sand are exposed, revealing the remnants of old shipwrecks embedded in the beach. Inland, the residential streets are arranged in a grid pattern, leading up to the margins of Baglan Moors, an area of undeveloped land.
