The Beach
Its 3 mile length thins any crowd and the atmosphere at the beach is very relaxed with a "surf scene" far less geared to the competitive surfer than at some surf spots. The beach is very popular with people learning and improving their surfing so there are always others of your standard around.
Rhossili bay is at the far west of the Gower Peninsula, the first part of Britain to be declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with many breathtaking walks around the coast.
