Sightseeing
This beach can be accessed from 3 or more different locations and each one offers a different walking experience. If you park at 3 cliffs campsite they charge a few pounds for parking but you get the most dramatic views as you walk down to the beach. Careful of rip tides if you are swimming here. Flags should mark safe areas to swim. The easiest access in terms of terrain is from Shepards shop near the Gower inn, through the woods but still a trek.

Park at Bishopston post office or close by. For a good walk take Brandy Cove Road and follow the coastpath to Pwlldu (Blackpool in English). There is the lane from there that will take you back to the car making for a round trip. Alternatively it is a shorter walk straight to Pwlldu on Pwlldu Lane. The stones on the beach is actually ballast from the boats coming from Ilfracombe and taking back limestone from the quarry in Kittle.

On a low tide this offers access to 3 cliffs bay. Pobbles bay is a lovely beach too and you can usually find a parking spot in the village (Southgate). locals will let you know how to get down to the beach but there is a cul-de-sac opposite the post office, walk to the end then there is a footpath behind a gate, it's a nice walk on mixed terrain. Careful of the tide here. it comes in fast and you can get cut off on the 3 cliffs side and it's a longer walk back to the car.

This is the best place to experience Gower without having to clamber over any turnstiles.
There is a pub on the cliff top easily accessible from the car park that does food with views over to Llangeneth.
It can get busy during the Summer. You can do the walk out to the worm but leave enough time between tides to get back.
