Oxwich Bay, Gower

Situated on the southern side of the Gower Peninsula, a large curved bay with easy access at the western end with parking right on the beach. Snack kiosks in the car park and a shop near the entrance to the car park. The Oxwich Bay Hotel overlooks the beach and serves food and drink, it makes a nice retreat for a bored wife or girlfriend while you are out on the water.

Beach Description:

• Large flat hard sand beach with no rocks or submerged hazards.
• Popular with jetskis, motor boats and holidaymakers in the summer so when it’s busy walk along the beach to the left to find some space to rig up and launch.

Characteristics:

• Only the largest winter swells make it round to this sheltered bay, so the worst you’ll usually have to deal with is local wind chop.

Best Conditions:

• Best on Easterlies!

Parking right on the beach...almost!
