Rhossili Bay

I have lived close to Rhossili bay for most of my life and i have to say its one of my favorite beaches. Located at the western most point of the Gower peninsula in South Wales this bay stretches from the north of the peninsula all the way to the south. The Village of Llangenith is at the north of the bay and the beach at that end takes its name. Rhossili is the village on the south of gower and again lends its name to that end of the beach. The beach is 4 miles long, and is bracketed by the island of Burry Holmes on the north side, to the world famous spit of Worms Head to the south. Both are accessable by foot at low tide, across causeways ...  Read the complete review

I grew up in Swansea and Rhossili bay is one place which I always go back to visit again and again. Rhossili is one of the beaches which forms the Gower Penisula. It's located near the village of Llangennith and is very popular for surfing, fishing and walking. Rhossili bay is a 3 mile long sandy beach and is the most westerly in the Gower. As it's the most westerly, it brings in atlantic swells which makes consistent waves with the biggest of waves the north end of the beach (Llangennith). These waves attract surfers from all over the UK but please be aware that there are no life guards on this beach. There is a bus service which runs to Rhossili ...  Read the complete review

Rhossili Bay is a quite stunning beach and headland, including the rocky outcrop called Worms Head which is accessible for a couple of hours a day depending on the tide. Located about 20 minutes west of Swansea in the Gower Peninsular, I was actually amazed on arrival at this beach at quite how pretty the beach and bay area are. I have never seen such an idylic beach in the UK before and luckily for us the sun was out on the day we visited and with perfect blue skies it really is something else. You actually drive into Rhossili at the top of the headland and the top of a massive hill. On this levelled out bit of land there is a car park where you ...  Read the complete review

Rhossili Bay is a stunningly beautiful 3 mile stretch of sand backed by cliffs in the west of the Gower Peninsula near Swansea. There is a privately owned car park which was £2.50 a day in summer 2009 and toilets, pub, cafe and a couple of shops at the top and there are steps down to the beach which are hard work for the less mobile and fit - and very difficult for those with pushchairs. Once down the sands are quite exposed and the tide goes out a long way. This is a reliable surfing beach although better waves can be found at other Gower beaches. There is a National Trust visitor centre on the headland and tide times permitting you can walk across the causeway ...  Read the complete review

Rhossili Bay is one of the most spectacular beaches on the Gower Peninsula on South Wales, around a 20 minute drive from Swansea. I spent 4 years at University in Swansea and this is one of my all time favourites, which I never tire of visiting. After the drive on the tiny, curvy country lanes, you are rewarded by a breath taking view of the Rhossili Down, which stretch to the ocean. There is car park for £2 a day, as well as a little shop for any essentials, a tea room, with a divine cream tea. There is also The Worms Head, a pub with the most spectacular views and wonderful food. If you don't fancy the long, and in places, steep walk down to the ...  Read the complete review
