Summer is here! Have you planned your holiday or short break yet? Discover the perfect summer escape in Swansea Bay
Spend sunny days unwinding on our beautiful beaches - perfect for building sandcastles, paddling in the sea, and exploring rock pools with the kids. Take in breath-taking sea views as you stroll the Gower Coast Path with your four-legged friend or try something new like horse riding or a scenic boat trip. Love watersports? Give surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking - or even coasteering - a go!
When the sun takes a break, the fun moves indoors. Zoom down the slides at the LC waterpark, encounter exotic animals at Plantasia Tropical Zoo, scale new heights on an indoor climbing wall, test your skills as a Ninja Warrior or axe thrower, or relax with a laid-back afternoon at a board game café.
Grown-ups need fun too! Discover the secrets behind your favourite tipples with a tour of Penderyn Distillery, Gower Brewery, or Gower Gin. Cheers to that!
Swansea Bay is bursting with summer entertainment as well. Enjoy food and drink festivals, live music gigs, or outdoor theatre at Oystermouth Castle.
Ready to ride the wind?
Wingsurfing is the exciting new watersport where you harness the wind with a handheld inflatable wing - no experience needed! Start on a stable SUP board and feel the rush as you glide across the water. Freedom and fun await! A great way to enjoy Swansea Bay’s coastline – SUP Gower offer lessons and equipment for wingsurfing and other watersports including stand up paddle boarding and efoiling.
Savour the flavours of Wales with freshly cooked seafood served alongside stunning coastal views, or discover a world of global cuisine in the heart of the city. And for those with a sweet tooth, warm Welsh cakes and delicious homemade ice cream are a must!
When it comes to places to stay, you’re spoilt for choice - wake up to sea views at a cosy coastal campsite, stretch out in a spacious self-catering cottage in the countryside, or enjoy the comforts of a boutique hotel in the heart of the city.
