Caswell Bay, Gower Peninsula

Swansea Bay and Gower are blessed with 5 Blue Flags (Bracelet Bay, Caswell Bay, Langland Bay, Port Eynon and Swansea Marina) and 5 Green Coast Awards (Limeslade, Pwll Du, Mewslade, Tor Bay and Rhossili).

The lovely Port Eynon Bay was recently voted the 'Best British Beach 2011' in the Cadbury Flake 99 Great British Beach Awards.

Rhossili Bay, our 'supermodel of British beaches' (The Independent) was voted 'the best beach in Britain' in 2010 (Cadbury Flake 99 Great British Beach Awards & Daily Mail online poll) and the UK's 'best picnic spot' (British Guild of Travel Writers).

Other famous bays include our favourite surfing spots: Langland, Caswell and Llangennith. 

They're all great for families, with all the amenities you need for little ones. Other family-friendly beaches can be found at Oxwich and Port Eynon / Horton.

For wilder experiences, head to Three Cliffs Bay, Mewslade, Pwll Du, Brandy Cove, just some of the hidden jewels of the Gower Peninsula. See full list of beaches.
