Rhossili North Beach, located on the Gower Peninsula in Wales, is a stunning rural beach owned by the National Trust, renowned for its excellent bathing, beautiful scenery, and spectacular views.
Rhossili North Beach is part of a wide expanse of sand stretching 3 kilometres from Burry Holmes to Worms Head. The gently sloping bay faces west out into the Atlantic and is backed by steep limestone cliffs on the south side, Rhossili Downs on the east, with sand dunes and moors in the north. The beach offers visitors a three-mile stretch of clean, golden sands backed by dunes and dominated by the stunning Rhossili Downs.
The beach is a popular spot for walkers, with scenic walking trails, including routes to Blue Pool and the natural archway called Three Chimneys. Visitors can also explore the nearby archaeological sites, including the remains of an Iron Age fort and a World War II radar station. The wreck of the Helveti, a cargo ship which sank in 1887, can be seen on the beach. For surfers, Llangennith Sands Beach, located at the northern end of Rhossili Bay, is a hotspot with fantastic waves, and surf schools are nearby.
The Worms Head promontory, a tidal island, is accessible at low tide via a rock causeway, but walkers should be aware of the incoming tide rising quickly and potentially trapping them. The promontory is one of the most photographed landmarks in Wales and offers spectacular views.
The Rhossili Downs above the beach are popular with walkers and hang gliders, providing magnificent views over the coastline and out to sea. A popular camping and caravan site is located at Hillend, 200 metres from the beach.
Rhossili Beach was voted Best Beach in Britain in 2010 and Wales's Best Beach in 2017.
