For those eager to explore further, head to the award-winning Rhossili Bay for a scenic family walk or visit Three Cliffs Bay and take in breathtaking coastal views.

3. Explore Mumbles

The charming seaside village of Mumbles is perfect for a day of exploring. Stroll along the scenic promenade, browse the boutiques, galleries (we even have one dedicated just to Welsh lovespoons!) and surf shops, then enjoy a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants and cafés. Step back in time at Oystermouth Castle, where kids can channel their inner knights and princesses as they roam the historic ruins. For classic seaside fun, head to Mumbles Pier to play arcade games, take a ride on the Big Wheel, or simply sit back with an ice cream sundae and watch the boats sail by.
