    We visit here every year to see the sunflower fields. It is a bit of a walk but on a lovely day/evening its gorgeous. Not ideal with pram/ pushchair or wheel chair . Views are incredible. The guys running the sunflower field have a range of refreshments to buy. Just as nice to take a picnic and make a day of it . One thing I'm yet to time right is the tide so you can walk out to worms head . Parking is Β£5 for the day

    Such a beautiful location the scenery and fresh air makes a huge difference to lift the spirits after the years of pandemic we have had. My father used to always take us here for a nice trip to see the location which has slowly gotten better over time, the location is great but it's the food and drinks you can get here which is so much better. I have always loved to come here and sit down and watch the world go by and it seems it has grown in popularity. We had a lovely time and enjoyed an ice cream on a hot day. I highly recommend it. Go early and enjoy your day. If you found my review helpful please press like. Thank you

    Absolutely stunning area to walk around in, with beautiful views of the Gower coastline. The path is easy to walk along, with a wide rocky gravel path and lots of grass spaces. It was dog friendly though note there are wild (albeit very tame and docile seeming) horses and sheep roaming. The National Trust car park was bigger than expected and no issues 11:30 on Saturday of a bank holiday weekend. Toilets near the car park are adequate (not great but sufficient) The cafe and shop are pretty small but there are a few other local options too.

    Well laid out car park with plenty of spaces. No need to faff with a machine, a helpful PERSON was there to issue tickets and give information. Β£6 for the day not too bad . Good facilities including clean toilets, showers, NT shop and pub/restaurant (Worm's Head Hotel). Good access to the beach via a well constructed path and occasional steps. The bay was stunning and the sea perfect for bathing and surfing. Dogs were having a great time too and, thanks to considerate owners, were not a nuisance to anyone. The beach was very clean.

    Amazing beach, amazing landscapes, amazing overall location, amenities, walking paths. Simple. Probably the best accessible beach on the Gower. Number one choice. Parking cost Β£3 for 2 hours.

    If you are interested in seeing a dramatic looking coast, and feel like you are alone in the world, feel free to turn up here on a rainy and windy day. The paths are nicely made and I guess will be suitable even for people with prams (nice tarmacked road on the side will make sure that you can get there... A lonely watch station at the end is absolutely brilliant as well :)

    Lovely place for a picnic with family. Good for trekking & Fishing. Plenty of parking space parking in the worms head car park. Parking hours are 4-6 don't worry if you are parked in after 6. One side of the gate is always open for the people who have parked to exit. Some nice Caffe and bars you will find. And over all a Great View to experience.

    Absolutely beautiful area to visit. We didn't go in to the sunflowers but there was enough to see and do anyway. Tide was out so we managed the 15 minutes walk across to worms head. Be aware, if you do this is very tricky in places to cross. There were foals that just loved a scratch on the edge!

    Extremely difficult to walk down and especially back up if you have problems walking a distance etc and rather steep. The beach is amazing if you can get to it and you are allowed to take your dogs which i think is wonderful, there are not many beaches were dogs are allowed anymore. The beach is very clean and the water was lovely. Great day out. You can also go see the sunflowers and you can also take a trip over to the worm but please check tide times etc first as it can be very dangerous.

    A beautiful bay with some of the best tidal sport climbing around. Does get a bit of swell so a good surf spot too. Nice cafes and pub. Wild horses, good for family and all ages. Highly recommend this spot. Free parking for national trust members. Does get busy, I went very early which meant it wasn't as busy!

    Drove to Rhosili for a day out and definitely wasn't disappointed! Really pretty place and beach area! Went during the week so wasn't busy and really quiet. Great walk for dogs, although with the horses there might be better on leads.

  • 4/5 Ben B. 9 months ago on Google
    Easy to find using satnav. Plenty of parking. Restaurants and a small gift shop with hot and cold drinks. Toilets including disabled. It was pretty windy but with the sun out nice and warm. Some very narrow roads as you reach your destination to be mindful of.

    Wow! What an amazing beach. We went on a Sunday and I was worried it would be crowded but with the tide out the beach was so big we didn't have to move the dogs around anyone at all. The dogs had a great time in & out of the waves & generally romping around. Totally wore themselves out but in a good way.

  • 5/5 Rithvik R. 8 months ago on Google
    Rated one of the best beaches in the world, this place did not disappoint. Enjoyed a weekend walk here among some beautiful views and beaches. An easy walk on the mountains and the coast wit plenty of places to enjoy food and drinks afterwards. Plenty of parking available. Will definitely visit again and can’t recommend enough. However it does get overcrowded during the holidays.

    Oh wow, this coastline is stunning. Great walk from the NT car park along the path, seeing the wild ponies close up was beautiful. Just fabulous views, easy paths and suitable for all ages and abilities. Toilets and cafΓ© and shop.

  • 5/5 Karen N. 10 months ago on Google
    One of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. Lovely views from the cliff top and fine sandy beach. Well worth the fairly steep walk down to the bay. Fields of wild flowers and sunflowers on the headland.

  • 5/5 Nawaj S. 11 months ago on Google
    Stunning landscapes definitely worth a visit. There are open cliff edges and roaming sheep and ponies. Ponies were so cute! Cafes, pubs, toilets, paid parking available. Long and lovely sandy bay to walk, but only after some decent flight of stairs.

    I absolutely love coming to Rhosilli bay, every time I pass through South Wales I make sure to stop here. Always clean and tidy. Facilities on site are good with a shop, toilets, showers, two pubs and a cafe. Decent sized car park as well. Most paths are gravel so easy to walk. It's a really well looked after beautiful area.

  • 5/5 Martin R. 9 months ago on Google
    Beautiful beach. You need to walk down for around 20mins to reach the beach. The view from the parking looks stunning facing the sea. Elderly will find it difficult to get down to the beach and climb up. The sea is sandy and very relaxing.

    A classic British beach. Paid parking at the top of the cliffs with cafes and a shop. It took us, 2 adults a 4 year old and a dog, about 10 minutes to walk down to the beach. Starts off on a decent path and then onto a dirt and gravel path. Fairly steep but not too bad. Pushchair won't make it. The beach is flat and the tide goes out for a mile. Perfect for the dog. Other have better reviews on the beach and surroundings. I will add that I had to carry my 4 year old back up the hill and it took me about 20 mins. A classic place in Wales with some great views all around from up above to down on the beach itself. To do the walk round the cliffs, the beach and then maybe further up the hill will take you longer than you think but well worth it, to earn that pint after.

    What a gorgeous beach! It is well maintained and such a great attraction. There is cheap and ample parking ehich supports the National Trust and also a pub on sight which makes for the perfect experience! There is also a genuine shipwreck on the beach which can be explored during low tide, with protruding timbers. We walked along the beach and spotted an abundance of sea life in the rock pools. There's also a few caves that can be accessed along low tide too which are fascinating inside. Rock climbing is also possible with multiple locations along the beach to climb with gear. We thoroughly enjoyed our day here and would definitely visit again should be we be in the region.

    Absolutely beautiful. Well worth a visit. Keep young children and dogs on a short leash. There are unfenced cliff edges and roaming sheep and ponies. Cafes, pubs, toilets, paid parking, accessible walk. Lots of other walks, but require good walking shoes and mobility. Long, clean beautiful golden bay to walk, but only accessible via steep steps.

    Went on a cloudy day unofrtunately but lovely views, fresh air and a nice walk. Sunset was nice too. If we had more time/better footwear we would have walked over to the worms head, quite unique. Good facilities on site

  • 5/5 orlene w. 1 year ago on Google
    Truly stunning beach. Plenty of walks. Can definitely see why 9th best beach in the world. Great to surf and body board. Very steep walk down to the beach but worth it. Lovely restaurants at the top that are worth a visit. Reasonable parking charge, free if a national trust member.

  • 5/5 Chris K. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely stunning and one of the top beaches in the whole of Europe! Incredible views from the cliffs. You can access the Spaniards Rocks end of the beach via the path from the car park at Broughton Farm caravan park (approx 10min walk to the beach). The beach is incredible and mostly deserted!

  • 4/5 Glevum O. 1 year ago on Google
    Very neat shop and facilities. Filled with items related to the area. Displays were immaculate with everything labeled and priced clearly. There's plenty of the usual stuff (maps, tea towels, postcards) as well as the unusual (locally handmade Christmas sheep). There's a selection of food and drink from snacks to sarnies, pasties etc. and benches outside at which to sit and eat. Prices vary widely but generally aren't too high. The staff were all friendly and pretty laid back.
