Pronounced Bruffton, this quite large and very sandy bay is very popular with caravan enthusiasts - there being two caravan parks situated at each end of the beach. The two parks, however, are not directly linked by road, the site at the southern end being accessible by the road from Llangennith, whilst the park at the northern end of the bay can only be reached by the road leading from Llanmadoc. Broughton Bay In past ages, the bay used to be regularly visited by sailing vessels up to 700 tons. These were able to anchor here up until around the 1850s, after which the sand of the Burry Estuary silted the bay too heavily to afford their traffic.
