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

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.

Make sure you check the tide times and go 2 hours before low tide to give yourself plenty of time to sit and enjoy the views (there’s a 2 hour window either side of low tide because the causeway is tidal). This is quite a challenging walk over volcanic rock and diagonal rock shards that look a bit like Superman’s planet Krypton and more importantly hurt the soles of your feet,! Make sure you wear sensible shoes (walking shoes/boots really) - I saw two lads trying to do it in flip flops- not a chance! We did it on a hot day and went right to the end - it’s a little harder going out than coming back. Allow yourself at least 2 hours - more if you want to climb the top of each ridge. Take plenty of fluids and a lunch to stop and appreciate the views and if you’re lucky spot some seals basking on the rocks.

While all the tourists may head for the view of Rhossili half a mile down the road, the locals use this place. £3 car parking in the honesty box and then a 10 minute walk down the valley brings you out in a wonderfully tranquil and clean beach. So much more for the kids to do with rock pools and little coves galore

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.

This is such a well cared for a beautiful park, I visit it often, sometimes just to have a pretty walk. It offers so much and I really recommend going in May when everything is in bloom
