Here there is an unspoilt sandy beach, suitable for swimming and surfing, with rockpools to explore. From the beach there are coastal paths of a few miles to the villages of Oxwich or Port Eynon. Here there are sandy beaches with carparks, pubs, fish & chips, and restaurants: The Beach House in Oxwich having a Michelin star.
