Port Eynon Bay is a safe and sandy beach, approximately a mile long, which is perfect for families and water sports enthusiasts. The beach is located on the Gower Peninsula, Britain's first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It features a wide expanse of golden sand and rock pools to explore at low tide, making it an ideal resort for young families.
The beach offers easy access to car parking and village shops, as well as local camping sites. A great fish and chips shop is also available by the seafront. Visitors can enjoy various activities such as surfing, windsurfing, diving, and sailing. A small slipway is provided for launching boats. During the summer months, lifeguards patrol the beach to ensure clean and safe bathing.
At the far end of the bay stands the eighteenth-century ruin of the old Salt House, a nationally important historic site. The beach is close to the historic Port Eynon village, which features a selection of cafes, restaurants, and souvenir shops. The nearby Culver Hole and the Port Eynon Salt House are also worth exploring on a hike along the coast.
The beach is easily accessible, with plenty of parking available, and a short walk across the beach to the village of Horton. Port Eynon Bay is dog-friendly all year round, making it a great destination for families with pets.
