This has to be your number one destination when visiting the Gower. The beach is unbelievably huge and a walk up and down it is very, very enjoyable, if not a bit hard at the end making your way back up to the NT car park. Don't miss this amazing place.

and the path[on the left] down to Worms Head doesn't do justice to the magnificence of the bay with the worn remains of the Helvetia still sticking up out of the sand. I'll have to see how to add a better image to this review!!

Great views, walks but check tide times if you want to get out to the head. Parking for the day was £3.00.

Views, clean beach, vast expanse of land making it secluded. If the tide is out the walk to Worms Head is well worth doing - always take a camera to catch sea lions off the coast

The beach is one of the most beautiful parts of the Gower, and includes some fantastic walks around the area. The only thing I would say about this beach, is the access requires going down a very large hill, which you then have to walk up again. Not great if you are with someone elderly etc. All in all I...

It's totally unspoilt with none of the shabby touristy buildings that often disfigure popular locations. The backcloth to the beach is lovely and although it's quite a climb down to the beach the walks across the headland are so attractive, even when it's raining and cold! It's well worth a visit.
