Bracelet Bay is a small, picturesque beach located on the Mumbles headland in South Wales, offering a unique blend of sandy and rocky shoreline.

Bracelet Bay is situated on the Gower Peninsula, next to the Mumbles lighthouse, and is backed by dramatic cliffs. The beach is a mix of sand and shingle, with rocky shoreline and numerous rock pools to explore at low tide. On a clear day, there are stunning views across the Bristol Channel to Devon.

The bay offers a range of facilities, including restaurants, bars, and ice cream parlours nearby. Visitors can swim in the bay, but should be cautious of the rocks and strong rip currents. A lifeguard presence is available between May and September. Public toilets and a children's playground can also be found behind the Castellamare Italian restaurant on the western side of the beach.

The nearest bus stop is on Mumbles Road, immediately behind Bracelet Bay, and there is a large car park with charges during the summer months. However, the path to the beach is steep and not suitable for those with reduced mobility or those with children in pushchairs. Additionally, Bracelet Bay is a designated dog-free beach from May until October.

Bracelet Bay is adjacent to the Gower Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
