About

Sandfields West is a coastal ward within Neath Port Talbot, directly bordering Swansea Bay. The area is primarily residential, characterised by streets of terraced and semi-detached housing. Its main feature is the long, straight promenade that runs alongside a wide, sandy beach, offering views across the bay. This seafront is a focal point for local recreation and walking.

The ward includes the Aberavon Seafront area, with its leisure facilities and the modern Aberavon Beach Hotel. Inland, the landscape is flat and urban, with local shops and services concentrated along main roads.
