Relax in nature



Swansea Bay has several stunning beaches, including Rosselli Bay Beach

Swansea Bay has a range of stunning beaches, three of which are Blue Flag, rolling hills and 60 kilometers of beautiful coastal trails. Improve your well-being by going for walks or hikes.

Walking is useful not only for physical fitness but also for mental well-being. Swansea Bay has a wide variety of routes to choose from, from easy prom walks to walks along the Gower Way, so put on your walking shoes and get some fresh air!

Adventures with your four-legged friend

It is known that the close relationship that people have with their dogs is good for their health. In Swansea Bay we have a multitude of dog houses and cafes where your furry friends are welcome and you and your pet can enjoy different walks every day.

Get a bike!

Swansea Bay is a cycle-friendly city with many free cycle paths and is part of the Celtic Trail and National Cycle Network.

There are tracks for everyone. Families and beginners can walk the green trails, they are still not easy but the views are impressive (not the hike). Alternatively, you can go off-road at the Gower Cycle Network.
