The Gower peninsula is great for so many different activities, the views are spectacular, I have been visiting the gower all my life and I still haven't seen it all.

This island is only accessible during a 2-3 hr window so plan carefully and you might be able to pop over. If you miss coming back on time, there's a whistle on the island that you blow to attract...
