A fabulous expanse of beach with plenty of space to keep your social distance! It's clean too. Good parking - OK it's £5 even for a short stay, but worth it - free out of season.
2. 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.

It's the closest thing to Heaven most of us will ever get - spectacular beaches, two stunning ridge walks, along Rhossili Down, the other on Cefn Bryn, woodland, streams, 3 microbreweries, fantastic bars and restaurants, and did I mention the beaches - Three Cliffs is like nowhere else in the world. Everywhere there are views that will leave you speechless. I', a lucky bastard - I live here.

If you park at the Gower heritage center ( a small parking fee) , they will give you a small map for a lovely walk to the beach. Passing through a woodlands, pass a castle ruins on the jills with beautiful veiws and do wn theough the sand dunes , through a small river or over stepping stones onto a beautiful beach with transparent water. In summer it feels like youre abroad.

Lovely sandy beach. Spacious but not too big. Safe to swim in marked zone. Lifeguards on duty. We had no problem parking, just remember to take change for the ticket meter, and be aware if you have small kids that there is a road to cross between car park and beach. Toilet facilities and shop selling refreshments on site. Highly recommended for a simple enjoyable family beach day.

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!
8. Penllergare Valley Woods
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 411 reviews
On the northern fringe of the city of Swansea, and within sight of the M4 motorway, lies the estate of Penllergare Valley Woods. Here, deep in the valley, away from the noise and fumes of the passing traffic and encroaching development, you'll find the remnants of an important historic landscape, which is gradually being preserved and restored. It is a secret and magical place; where you can enjoy the sound of birds, delight in the profusion of wild flowers, discover evidence of exotic plantings and uncover for yourself the hidden features of a grand design. This romantic and picturesque place was contrived for the enjoyment of its creator John Dillwyn Llewelyn - a pioneering mover in science, nature, photography and astronomy in the 19th century. After over half a century of neglect, today it is a place that can be enjoyed and explored by everyone. Penllergare is run by a small charity, The Penllergare Trust. Our Volunteer-run Coffee Shop is open 10-4 daily and our car park 9-5.
