Oxwich Bay

Oxwich Bay, nestled on the southern coast of the Gower Peninsula in South Wales, is renowned for its expansive two-and-a-half-mile stretch of golden sand, making it one of the region's most popular beaches. The bay is flanked by sand dunes, salt marshes, and woodlands, providing a serene backdrop for visitors. Its gentle sloping shores and calm waters make it an ideal spot for families, swimmers, and water sports enthusiasts, including kayaking, windsurfing and sailing available from Oxwich Watersports Company.

Beyond its natural beauty, Oxwich Bay offers a range of amenities to enhance the visitor experience. There are several cafés and shops nearby, providing refreshments and beach essentials. The Oxwich Bay Hotel, located adjacent to the beach, offers upscale dining with views of the coastline. For nature enthusiasts, the Oxwich National Nature Reserve lies just behind the beach, featuring a mix of beach, sand dunes, lakes, woodlands, cliffs, and salt and freshwater marshes. This diverse habitat supports a variety of wildlife and offers scenic walking trails.

Dogs are welcomed on Oxwich Bay beach all year round but must be kept on a lead.
