Great scenery, but be prepared to be windswept and interesting! The walk across to Worms Head during low tide was tricky but fun and we all relived our youth by rock climbing.

It is sooo beautiful. It was difficult to stop taking pictures. It was quite windy on the day we went but still worth the drive to view.

As an Australian myself (sadly) the article that a jealous and nasty Australian writer wrote about this beautiful bay after it was named as the tenth best beach in the world just shows what a bitter and petty country Australia is. Just because somewhere doesn't have palm trees does not mean its not worth it,nor is it bad just because... More

Great walk from rhos silk. Car park to worms head. Great to be able to talk to knowledgeable coast watch volunteer. Always worries me to see young people clambering about on cliff edge. How I do wish dog owners would not leave their doggy do bags lying around- scandalous in such a beautiful setting

Fabulous beach. Wonderful afternoon walking the beach which is quite spectacular. The afternoon was very sunny which made it even more delightful.

This is one of the most photographed places in Wales due to it's dramatic views and ease of parking. The pub serves excellent food and a cold pint of cider. We always bring visitors here to get a taste of Wales.

The scenery is unsurpassed with golden sands and lovely walks over the headland. However you need to take a picnic as catering is somewhat hit and miss.

Rhossili Bay is a west-facing beach comprising of over 3-miles of beautiful sandy beach. There are good facilities at the southern end (plenty of parking [£3], great coffee shops and pubs) and a holiday park at the northern end; however, there are no on-beach facilities in between which is a shame. Overall, one of the best beaches I have ever... More
