First time in the Gower and we headed straight for Rhossili bay, it is a stunning area and well worth a visit (or two). A lovely walk along the cliffs toward Wormshead gives you fantastic views so have your camera at the ready or if you go the other way you climb down the cliffs to the long sandy beach where you can walk and walk and walk, seemingly as if there is hardly anybody else around. The area is National trust so the car part is free to NT members and there is a NT shop there for you to peruse before or after your adventure. Take a picnic or eat in either the Wormshead hotel or one of the cafes there...plenty to choose from. Its nice to just sit and enjoy the views at the top by the car park. Note that the climb to the beach is quite a trek down (and up) so make sure you are up to it before starting your journey down. Plenty of photos on other reviews already...they speak for themselves.

The view here is always amazing and the beach is beautiful and clean. Fantastic water quality and a great day out with the family well worth the trip. Best to go in the morning and spend all day chilling to enjoy the sunset at the end of the day

Could easily spend the whole day here. I had heard about this beach and how wonderful it was, but I can honestly say that it must be seen to be believed. It is stunning. Sadly, due to the heavy rain showers we arrived here later than planned and it was mid-afternoon, so didn’t have that much time. There’s quite a steep walk down but it is worth it. Parked in the National Trust Car Park which cost us £4 to park for 2 hours. Machines take cash (unusual nowadays), card or pay by app. It is free for National Trust Members. Be warned the car park is small, even though there is an overflow area. We arrived during a heavy downfall of rain so were lucky that several people were leaving. We did notice on the way in and out that there were lots of people at the bus stop so clearly many people take the bus. The white house you see which overlooks the beach and sea is also available to rent from the National Trust but they do not allow dogs due to the livestock in the surrounding area. The only toilet facilities are Portaloo’s at one end of the car park unless you go to one of the many cafes, etc. The Worms Head hotel looked busy as it is open to non-residents and has an outside decking area that allows dogs. Undoubtedly, worth a visit and we will certainly be back.

Wow what a beach! We walked along the fields to the caravan park at the other end then back over the downs (stupid name for something so high). It was quite a tough climb but the views were amazing. Worms head was incredible when the sun came out too.

A very windy, wild afternoon on the Gower at Rhosili Bay, out of season in April 2024. One road in, and one road out to Rhosili, but worth it. Parking is easy, there is a car park for £4.00, but if you are a member of the National Trust, you can scan your membership card and it was free parking. It was a surprise that the NT manage the cliff tops and the area, but unsure about the beach. The cliff top walk to the Worms Head bay and causeway is lovely. Very high cliffs, so watch your children. Lots of dog walkers who also let their dogs of the lead, even though this is not allowed owing to farm animals in the vicinity. The beach is a walk down, there is no vehicular access, and the walk up is a toughie. Nature at it’s best, even though the weather was wild. I bet this place is absurdly over visited in the holiday season but the huge expanse of beach can cope..

One of the most beautiful places I’ve visited for a long time. We went on a sunny day, in the school holidays so it was busy but there is loads of parking and lots of space so it wasn’t an issue. We just walked along the cliff tops where the views were spectacular. The beaches looked lovely and not overly crowded. The parking was quite dear but if you have NT membership it is free.

A beautiful unspoilt bay. Be prepared for Welsh weather (can be wet and windy) - the day we went the day was dry but windy - however the walk along the beach is amazing. Quite a walk down to the beach but on a good path - remember you've got to come up again!! Wear sturdy shoes. The View cafe (near the top of the path) makes a perfect stop with views of the bay.
