Random Sand Fact
In Wales, world speed records were set on a sandy beach.
The beach at Pendine is over eleven kilometres long, hard and flat. In the 1920s it was one of the few places in Britain where a car could reach full speed and still have room to stop. Here, a car went faster than 150 miles an hour for the first time.
Every time the tide goes out, it leaves a fresh, smooth track.
