The beach

Caswell

Caswell sits on the Gower run. Swell, wind and tide for this beach and the neighbours, so you can pick a peak before you leave the car park. Today is cloud, 15°, 5kt N.

Sheltered Gower beginner beach. Soft, close to Swansea, and the first place locals send learners.

Best on a pushing tide. When it has real size, Langland next door is the more serious option.

Faces S. Best swell SSESW. Level: beginner. Crowd: busy.
