General presentation
Péninsule de Gower
Compact coastal peninsula, known for its beaches, cliffs, moors, villages and walks accessible from Swansea.
The discovery of Gower's Peninsula revolves around Rhossili Bay, Three Cliffs Bay and Mumbles. The stay thus alternates between the coastline, natural areas and the countryside, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be expected: parking lots quickly full in summer. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Range
Rhossili Bay
Rhossili Bay runs a long wind-beating beach, bordered by the grassy slopes of the Gower and the silhouette of Worms Head. At low tide, the sand becomes immense, marked by the footsteps, surfers and sometimes the visible wreck of the Helvetia. The cliff gives the clearest view of the scale of the site.
Bay
Three Cliffs Bay
Three Cliffs Bay is distinguished by a combination of beaches and cliffs visible from sight, with direct contact with the sea and short tracks to follow. The passages give wide images of the Gower in a few steps.
Seafront
Mumbles
Mumbles offers a dynamic maritime facade, between seafront and quieter areas where one can observe the movements of the bay. The soft hours of the evening and morning often give the best decors.
Range
Oxwich Bay
Oxwich Bay is a beach that alternates large sandy spaces and varied views over cords and water. The site is read according to the weather: at rising or setting, the light extends the perspectives and clarifies the structure of the coast.
