Gower Beaches - Swansea Bay, Mumbles and Gower

Gower Beaches

5 Blue Flags, 4 Green Coast Awards and 'the best beach in Britain!'

Caswell Bay, Gower Peninsula

In 2010 Swansea Bay and Gower were rewarded with 5 Blue Flags (Bracelet Bay, Caswell Bay, Langland Bay, Port Eynon and Swansea Marina) and 4 Green Coast Awards (Pwll Du, Mewslade, Tor Bay and Rhossili).

Rhossili Bay, our 'supermodel of British beaches' (The Independent), once again hit the headlines by being voted 'the best beach in Britain' (Cadbury Flake 99 Great British Beach Awards & Daily Mail online poll) and the UK's 'best picnic spot' (British Guild of Travel Writers).

Other famous bays include our favourite surfing spots: Langland, Caswell and Llangennith.

They're all great for families, with all the amenities you need for little ones. Other family-friendly beaches can be found at Oxwich and Port Eynon / Horton.

For wilder experiences, head to Three Cliffs Bay, Mewslade, Pwll Du, Brandy Cove, just some of the hidden jewels of the Gower Peninsula. See full list of beaches.
