Caswell Bay
The cliffs from Mumbles Head to Langland Bay give a hint of the main features of the southern coastline of the Gower Peninsula. Sea Pinks grow down the cliffs wherever there is soil for them to grow, and a series of bays cut into the rocks, beginning with Bracelet Bay, going through Limeslade and Rotherslade, to the popular sandy beaches of Langland and Caswell.
These beaches can be reached by road, and their comparative nearness to Swansea, make them the most popular in Gower. As well as roads leading to them, these bays have cliff paths leading to them around Rams Tor. From Langland Bay the path goes along Newton Cliff, dropping into the deep little bay of Caswell. Both Langland and Caswell have beautiful family friendly stretches of sand, ideal for water activities. Both have been awarded an impressive array of awards demonstrating high quality of beach, water and facilities on offer.
Not surprisingly, such an exposed peninsula surrownded by the Bristol Channel and Atlantic Ocean has become a haven for rich wild life. The sloping limestone cliffs are a blaze of flowers, gorse, pink thrift and sea campions, and the fringe of pine trees give the area a slightly continental effect.
