About
Rhossili Bay lies at the western end of the beautiful Gower peninsula. 3 miles of golden sands, iconic landscapes including Worms Head and Rhossili Down and history everywhere- from neolithic through to the more recent, including home to Edgar Evans. Its a walker's dream with routes in all directions, including the Welsh coastal path. The beach is dog friendly all year round and the whole area is beautiful whatever the weather. Today, the National Trust cares for 2 of the 3 miles of the beach, Rhossili Down, and most of the coastline between Rhossili and Port Eynon. (26 miles of Gower coastline in total). The landscape is free. The village of Rhossili also contains other private businesses. The car park is free to NT members during the day. Non members are currently charged £5 per day (car). There is no overnight parking/camping. All profits from the car park go towards keeping the area beautiful. Please note that the toilets are owned and operated by Swansea Council.

A must see
May 2022 • Family
This is one of those fantastic beaches. This must classifying as one of the beaches in the best 10 in the world. Some fantastic beaches are spoiled because of the large number of people that go to them. This is not the case with roselli I believe it is three miles long and the times you may be the only person on the beach. If you are in Wales don't miss seeing this fantastic beach.

Another one of Trust's bad decision
Jun 2022 • Solo
National Trust is not looking after all that it should look after all over the place. More evidence here. Parking is all over the place with few designated spaces and lots of rubbish everywhere.

Great Beach
Jun 2022 • Family
Great beach, nice and quiet. Some good waves for surfers, bit of walk from car park and quite steep to get back up so not good if you have mobility issues. Great cafes at the top including some awesome ice cream. Enjoy 👍🏻
Oh and national trust car park at top, free if member 👍🏻👍🏻

Got to the bay via Hillend caravan park. Reasonable cost for parking as a day visitor. Remember the beach from my childhood and it looks the same 30+ years later!

What an absolutely beautiful place! Compared to Three Cliffs Bay, which we visited this trip, it is simply sublime! The sunset was stunning and the whole area is just perfect. Would definitely return! 😍

Rhossili beach

Lovely clean beach, stairs up and down bit steep. A work out on their own. Dogs loved to be able to run, lots of other doggie walkers but able to find space.

Just beautiful

This is a stunning beach, even on a cloudy, windy October day. Completely unspoilt, gorgeous sand, very peaceful. Highly recommended if you are visiting the Gower.

Beautiful place and we had a lovely coastal walk with some stunning views. We didn’t get to worms head as it was high tide but gives a reason to go back.

Fabulous beach, well worth the visit.
Oct 2021 • Couples
We went on a typical uk autumn day and were very pleased with just how beautiful a beach this is. Excellent for surfing and kite surfing which looked like great fun. We decided to walk the entire length which was about 3 miles which was fine and the dog enjoyed it to but the walk back was into the wind and did make it a bit tiring!
