The Gower Peninsula is a part of Wales that you will not forget soon after your visit. Rhossili Bay is one of those places and you will definitely come back here more than once. Almost 5 km long beach surrounded by cliffs, rocks, dunes and mountains. The colors of green and blue and the sound of the waves. The kids will be in paradise. Take your dog with you, he'll be crazy.

Beware and Be ready for the walk down the hill literally 80 steps down and then 80 steps back up the hills. If you planning to go on school holidays or weekend then be ready for the long toilets ques before you actually go down those hills to access the beach. The beach itself is a nice sandy beach with brilliant panoramic hills scenic views However once you are on beach there's no sea guards no wheelchair access no food , no water or no pram access so families with children can struggle.

Outstanding area of natural beauty possibly the best in S. Wales. A stunning 3 mile sandy beach set against a raw backdrop of the steep cliffs. The walk down is steep, slippery when wet, contains steps and is rough in places. A mild workout if you're fit but there are benches on the way for the rest of us. The beach itself is dog friendly and good for finding shells. Watch out for jelly fish both in the water and on the beach. The Wreck of the Helvetia towards the south end is worth a few minutes of reflection and presents a good photo opportunity. Above the beach is broad, level walk (just under a mile) past the National Trust shop to the old Coast Guard Station. There's not a bad time to walk here; every season has its attractions. Being west facing the sunsets can be stunning. In Summer months it gets busy but there's still usually plenty of space on the beach. As at Sept., '22, parking is either in - the National Trust car park @ £6. Payment is either via machines that accepts coins (no change) or PayByPhone app (if you can get a signal: we couldn't on O2), or - if you go further back down the road, the St Mary's church car park (£5 cash in honesty box). For a space in season, arrive early; before 1000 at the latest.

Stunning sunsets. Tranquil atmosphere. If you have a national trust membership you get free parking. Lots of parking. Great walk to worms head. Lots of places to eat. Toilets. Dog friendly.

One of the best beaches in the UK. The climb down and then back up is totally worth it. Great place for a family outing. £6 car park for over 2 hours. Very long queues for women’s toilets but for men it was fine.

One of the prettiest and most impressive beaches I've ever seen! The contrast of sandy beach and green cliffs is just breathing. We accessed the beach via public transport - my boyfriend and I took a bus from Swansea bus station and the road itself is worth the trip - views are stunning. If you're planning to swim, keep in mind the tide - your belongings may get wet! Also, it's pretty shallow so you may need to walk a bit to get to a deeper level.

Great long beach, absolutely beautiful views. Long climb down is nice, be prepared for the climb back up.

One of the best beaches in the UK. About 3 miles of unspoilt sand dunes and flat sandy beach. Popular place with surfers and families. It’s a good walk along the beach and lots of drift wood and other interesting things for beach combing. There are a 2 streams joining the beach which are fun to play in.

One of the prettiest beaches I've ever seen! The contrast of sandy beach and green cliffs is just breathtaking.

Fantastic beach we ever visited in our life. In low tide the water was almost a kilometre away from the shores. Beautiful place to stay with family and play in water.

Really great beach. It's only an 8 minute walk down, I know because I video recorded it. Of course a bit longer going back up again. We arrived at low tide and left at high tide. The best place to lie is near the foot of the hill if you want dry sand and not have to move when the tide comes in. I also counted 12 barrel jellyfish that were washed ashore that day. Apparently they have a very mild sting but didn't test that theory! There are no facilities on the beach itself.

The beach is beautiful and is spread across a large area. Had been here in 2016. People look like small specs in few of the pictures because of the vastness of the beach.

What a stunning beach approx 3 miles long. Just wonderful…where ever you park it’s going to be £5+ for the day. There are a few campsites that charge the one at the llangennith is the shortest walk and in the middle of the beach.

Absolutely beautiful place, huge beach, not that accessible unless you can walk a lot of stairs though just to be aware! Loaaaads of jellyfish in the sea on the second day we went but they don’t sting. Go at sunset for the best view I have seen in ages!!

Might be the best beach in the UK Very clean, white sand and amazing scenery

Amazing view and very clean beach. Beautiful sandy beach , plenty of open space Good for surfing, walking, picnic, camping...etc. People with walking disabilities will find it hard to reach the beach. Bit of walk to and from the beach. No life guards and toilets at the beach. Toilet near the car is the best option but not very clean

Sunsets are heavenly here. You can come with family, friends. It has all basic provisions. Either you can go to beach or take a long walk to the cliff and watch sunset.

Beautiful beach with lot of space. Car park is £3/2h or £6/longer than 2h. Approximately 15-20min walk from the car park to the beach.

This easily has to be one of the UK's top 5 beaches. Simply stunning!

Very nice and large beach. Was quiet when I went. Long walk down to the beach though and the walk back up can be tiring.

One of my favourite beaches in the UK. The water today was surprisingly warm, similar to what I felt in Myanmar and Australia!

Lovely place, lots of wildlife. However, the abundance of jellyfish made swimming a nervous experience.

Nice views and very good beach. You need to walk a lot to reach beach though..
