1. Rhossili Bay
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,866 reviews
Rhossili Bay lies at the western end of the beautiful Gower peninsula. 3 miles of golden sands, iconic landscapes including Worms Head and Rhossili Down and history everywhere- from neolithic through to the more recent, including home to Edgar Evans. Its a walker's dream with routes in all directions, including the Welsh coastal path. The beach is dog friendly all year round and the whole area is beautiful whatever the weather. Today, the National Trust cares for 2 of the 3 miles of the beach, Rhossili Down, and most of the coastline between Rhossili and Port Eynon. (26 miles of Gower coastline in total). The landscape is free. The village of Rhossili also contains other private businesses. The car park is free to NT members during the day. Non members are currently charged £5 per day (car). There is no overnight parking/camping. All profits from the car park go towards keeping the area beautiful. Please note that the toilets are owned and operated by Swansea Council.

Definitely worth a visit, whatever the weather. There is good car parking at the top of the bay run by the National Trust (£2.50 for up to 2 1/2 hours, £5.00 for over, or free if you’re a member). Bit of a walk down to the beach, but a good path - not really suitable for buggies and def not wheelchairs). The beach itself is just magnificent - golden sand, super clean, stunning and a huge crescent shape. You can also walk out to the Worms Head - do one or the other, you can’t really do both on the same day. The cafes and eateries are all up by the car park, there’s nothing down on the beach. The Bay View Bar and Restaurant is highly recommended - fantastic views, 5 star food, homemade cake to die for and lovely staff, it’s a bit hidden away, on the right just before the entrance to the car park, it definitely worth a visit.

National Trust car park at site. Beautiful church. Lovely views from the hill climb, which isn’t actually that bad to climb!!! Quite a few steps down to the beach. If coming in rain, the footpath and steps do flood so wear wellies!!! Small cafe and shop half way down to beach with friendly staff. Beautiful sandy cove. Don’t sit near the back due to erosion. Recommended.

This beach is stunning and the water is quite warm in patches in the summer months. Definitely go and definitley take your golf clubs too because there is a golf course within stones throw of the beach along with camping and the steepest street in the world (according to Guiness World Book of records) just down the road plus castle. Enjoy

Lovely spot with close to beach parking, snacks, full restaurant, lots and plenty of play space, walking along the beach you can do a great return route via the nature reserve and the dunes. Splendid!

Reviewed By Johnfrisbee - Christchurch, United Kingdom
Wow, such a long, wide and wild-if-windy beach. Perfect for a gentle stroll, or blowing off the cobwebs, depending on the weather. You get a real sense of isolation here, with not that many fellow walkers, (midweek/October). It's well signposted on the local road, with a small car park. Then around 5mins walk along a sandy path through the dunes... And then - the view! We enjoyed reading the various signs, learning a little of the beach's history and wildlife. (The more signs and info the better methinks. History and wildlife very important, as well as giving areas like these context.) We loved it here, spending a very happy hour, walking part of this huge beach. Oh that we had more time to cover it all...no matter, we'll return someday.
