Popular places to visit

Three Cliffs Bay Beach
Why not spend a care-free afternoon at Three Cliffs Bay Beach during your travels in Swansea? Stroll along the marina in this quaint area or visit its lively bars.

Rhossili Beach
Often named as one of the best beaches in the UK and even the world, Rhossili Beach in the Gower Peninsula is unsurprisingly a popular attraction. It has also been called the “supermodel of British beaches” by The Independent because of its good looks, as well as the UK’s most dog-friendly beach by The Times.

Oxwich Bay Beach
Stroll along one of Britain’s most picturesque beaches and follow the trails into the nature reserve for its diverse landscape.

Mumbles Pier
One of Swansea’s most recognisable landmarks, the imposing Victorian pier on the southwestern corner of Swansea Bay holds both historic value and offers an entertaining way to pass the afternoon. Once a favoured haunt of Dylan Thomas, this iconic attraction in the village of Mumbles now plays host to tourists and locals out to enjoy themselves.

Oystermouth Castle
Oystermouth Castle occupies a particularly atmospheric vantage point, on a tall limestone ridge that enjoys sweeping views out over Swansea Bay. Built of Norman stone during the 12th Century, it sadly fell into disuse and disrepair from the Middle Ages onward, after a turbulent history, and in paintings it was often portrayed as a romantic ruin, pleasant to look at, but of little interest besides. Now all of that has changed.

Caswell Bay Beach
Surf on the choppy waters of this scenic bay and trek along the nature paths for gorgeous views of cliffs and headlands.
