What are the attractions near Swansea for campers?

No outdoor-lover should stop by the Gower without visiting the famously fetching 2 mile-long sandy beach at the peninsula’s western edge. There’s camping just back from the southern end, at Pitton Cross, and on a larger site at Llangennith, one of Wales’ top surfing spots. The tidal island of Worm’s Head to the south makes for some compelling exploring, and the sand dunes and marshes back from the seafront secrete wonderful birdlife. If you can tear yourself away from Swansea’s interesting heritage and the Gower’s wild beauty, then on the other side of Carmarthen Bay you will find the biggest sandy beaches in Wales teasing out in a dazzling golden line across South Carmarthenshire. Huge inlets isolate much of this coast, which reaches its prettiest around the epic Pembrey and Pendine sands. Coast-loving campers should come here to enjoy the region while evading Gower crowds.
