Rhossili bay Beach

Beach

👍👍 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...

Louisa Bay

Beach

👍👍 Louisa Bay is smaller and quieter then the neighbouring Viking Bay which is the major beach and has all of the attractions for the family. However if it's peace and quiet you are looking for with good quality food from a beachside cafe you are looking for then this small sandy beach spot knocks the...

Maceley Cove

Beach

👍 After parking up in the national trust car park near start point I walked across fields up a slightly steep hill then I hit the rocky coastal path in places It was a very frightening experience I was on all fours at one point trying not to look down my heart was in my mouth when I was near the beach...

South Milton Sands

Beach

😐 We are local and are proud of our villages and coastlines. I cannot imagine what inspired our Planning Officers to allow the motley collection of thrown together structures which straddle the Coast Path and overlook the beautiful beach. It is a total disgrace and resembles Fred Carneaux's Circus. I...

Man O'War Beach

Beach

👍👍 Absolutely amazing part of England, like so many partsof the U.K. A VERY big walk down to the beach and back up to the car park. £5 to park for 4 hrs, £10 for the day up to 9pm. Take plenty of reserves for the day. A pub up top but no food stall open. Just ice creams and drinks. Natural coastline...

Pobbles Bay

Beach

👍👍 Pobbles Beach is probably an unfamiliar name to some. The beach on plan lies to the East of the river of Pennard Pill which splits Three Cliffs Bay between the headland of Great Tor in the West and Shire Combe in the East. The rear of the beach is bounded by the infamous limestone peaks of “Three Cl...

Pwll Du Beach

Beach

👍👍 Walk or ride your bike to this beach. It’s secluded with a steep and rocky descent / ascent. No amenities. Nearest reliable parking is half a mile away at Pyle Post Office, a great place to catch the bus back into the city.

4.80 (161 reviews) (~198.91 km from centre)

Combesgate Beach

Beach

👍👍 This is by far the nicest place I have been in the UK! When the tide is out you can access the beach by the steps (so unfortunately no good for anyone with mobility problems) Once the seas out it leaves lots of little rock pools, some up to your thigh and the water is perfectly clear. Because of the...

Sunny cove beach

Beach

👍👍 There isn’t much to say in all honestly, this is one of the many small beaches dotted along the side of the river / estuary. As with all of them, it is lovely. Nice in size and fairly flat, the water is close and easily accessible. There are some nice walks close by and many of the beaches are link...

Gara Rock beach

Beach

👍👍 Gara rock beach is beautiful 🏖 A lovely quiet spot with nice clear water perfect for a dip in the sea. The walk down and back up to get to the beach may look daunting but it is more than worth it. Dogs are allowed all year round and the gara rock hotel is close by with facilities on offer and lov...
