Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Pwll Du beach (Swansea) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Pwll Du beach (Swansea) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Pwll Du beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

This beach can be accessed by walking or biking, but be prepared for a steep and rocky path. There are no amenities available, but if you park at Pyle Post Office half a mile away, you can easily catch a bus back to the city.

The secluded beach is accessible by taking a pleasant stroll through the woods, and the coastal path provides a scenic route back.

The beach was absolutely stunning and definitely worth the 20-30 minute walk from Bishopston, even with kids in tow. The path we took to get there was quite steep, but we managed just fine. The beach itself was mostly pebbles, but the water was crystal clear and the waves were gentle enough for the children to safely try out their body boarding skills. It was a peaceful and quiet spot with breathtaking scenery all around. Just keep in mind that there are no restroom facilities available.
