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, 11°, 6kt ESE, gusts 10.

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 SSE-SW. Level: beginner. Crowd: busy.
