About Rhossili Bay
Rhossili Bay is a dramatic three-mile stretch of golden sand on the western tip of the Gower Peninsula. It's backed by grassy hills and overlooked by the remains of a 13th-century church.
Rhossili Bay, stretching along Wales's Gower Peninsula, consistently ranks among Britain's best beaches. This three-mile expanse of golden sand is backed by dramatic cliffs and the distinctive Worm's Head promontory. The beach's exposed position creates excellent surfing conditions, while its westerly aspect offers spectacular sunsets. The bay's unique geography supports diverse wildlife, including rare birds and coastal plants. The remains of the Helvetia shipwreck, visible at low tide, add to the beach's mysterious appeal.
