A fantastic beach, well worth a visit. Easy to use car park nearby, not too expensive, nice little cafe and ice cream shop. The beach itself is clean, beautiful place to walk, swim or surf. Check the tide times as it does come in quite quick.

If you love the beach this is the place for you! A lovely little bay that is perfect for paddle boarding and when the tide goes out it has a great little beach. And there are some great views from the coastal path that goes right from the bay.

Lovely beach, large car park but does get busy in the summer. Surf Hire available. RNLI Beach Patrol on the beach in season. Nice rocks and cliffs to explore when the tide is out.

One of the smaller but beautiful beaches located just a few minutes from mumbles. Often good surf conditions but can be difficult when there are many people using the water during high season. Lots of little eating options if at the beach and there is a formal toilet block.
