Robert Francis Davies, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration and Tourism, said: “Our iconic beach huts at Langland have been a fixture at the bay for decades.

“The popularity of them means we have to carry out a draw each year so we can allocate the huts in a fair way.

“Lucky applicants will be able to choose from a variety of rental periods and we will let applicants know in March if they have been successful.”

Cllr Francis-Davies added: “Langland Bay is very popular with residents and visitors throughout the year and especially in the summer months. The previous investment to rebuild the seawall along with the ‘smoke-free beach’ designation are part of our continued efforts to make the bay an enjoyable visit.”

The closing date for application for a beach hut is on February 2 at 12 noon.
