The Gower Peninsula is home to some of the most glorious beaches in the United Kingdom, if not further afield. When the sun is shining and you look around at the shimmering sea and golden sands you could be mistaken into thinking you were in the Mediterranean - except for one thing, the lack of hordes of sunbathers.

Rhossili Beach stretches for 3 miles. It is accessible at low and high tide and accessible via a path and steps down the hillside. There are plenty of parking spaces (although at a cost - currently about £2).

Rhossili Beach Worm's Head

Whiteford Burrows is a wilder beach further round to the North. This is a breathtaking beach, if only for the fact that even in the height of summer, people are few and far between, probably because it's quite a trek down to the beach and there are no ice cream vans etc. The walk down to the beach passes by a pine forest, so it is possible to walk through the forest then over the sand dunes to the sea. At the furthest point there is an out of commission lighthouse.
