About

Waterfront ward sits along the southern edge of Swansea, directly fronting Swansea Bay. The area encompasses the marina and the former docklands, now largely redeveloped. It includes the Maritime Quarter and extends inland to the city's main railway station. The land is flat, defined by its industrial heritage and modern residential conversions.

The National Waterfront Museum, detailing Wales's industrial past, is a central feature. The long sweep of the promenade provides views across the bay to Mumbles Head. The area's layout is a clear blend of old dock infrastructure and newer apartment buildings, with the tidal marina at its core.
