To the west is Pendine Experimental Establishment and on the east and south Pembrey RAF bombing range. The exercise areas overlap and are usually active during weekdays.

Prior warning is advised.
The extent of the sea areas covered by the ranges is published by Pendine on a weekly basis and RT announcements are also made each morning. Mariners are reminded to avoid the area close-in W and S of Towyn Point, because this area has dangerous World War II beach defences , a low tower only visible at low tide and the wreck of the Teviotdale. Towyn DZ resited 2001 at 51 deg. You are reminded that sandbanks can form and change between tides. Crossings must only be undertaken in settled weather and you should constantly monitor your depth sounder and keep a visual lookout for breaking water.
