At Bayview, Oxwich on the south side of Gower, we’re relatively sheltered from the prevalent south-westerly winds that buffet the north and western edges of the peninsula. When the summer sun shines, and the sea is calm, it’s hard to imagine that Gower has been the graveyard over time for 250+ vessels that have come to grief in storm-force conditions along its treacherous coastline.

When it comes to beaches, Gower’s blessed – so many varieties all within such a compact peninsula: sweeping sandy bays, pebbled bays framed by dramatic limestone cliffs, secret coves, deserted estuary shores backed by magical woodlands, wild Atlantic shorelines, and bays made for a family day out with kids in tow.

The Wales Coast Path celebrates its 10th anniversary this year so we’d like to say Happy Birthday/Penblwydd Hapus from all the Team at Bayview, Oxwich.
