Rhossili Bay Beach
Swansea, Abertawe / Swansea
A superb beach owned by the National Trust with excellent bathing and spectacular views of the Worms Head. A pub and hotel with great food and commanding coastal views is situated on the headland, backed by a large car park. Note that access is via a steep path, difficult for wheelchairs and children’s buggies (and a long way back up if you leave your towel in the car!)
