Rhossili Bay is Gower’s headline beach, known for its vast stretch of golden sand and dramatic clifftop views. It’s ideal for long walks, family days out, and those ‘wow’ moments.

Be prepared for a steep walk down to the beach, especially if you’re heading towards Worm’s Head or exploring at low tide.

One of the most photographed beaches in Gower, Three Cliffs Bay is all about scenery. Limestone cliffs, winding streams, dunes and stepping stones create a setting that feels almost untouched.

Access can be more challenging, but for walkers and photographers, it’s well worth it.
