Swansea Bay
stretches from Swansea Marina at the mouth of the River Tawe to Mumbles
Head, a distance of some four or so miles. There is a promenade running
along the edge of the bay, which is enjoyed by cyclists, runners and walkers
for the dramatic views across the bay. About halfway between Swansea and
Mumbles, is Blackpill, with a café and paddling pools, which makes
an ideal stop for some much needed refreshment on a hot summer's day. The
bay is ideal for watersports of all kinds, with national sailing competitions
held every year. The best sandy spots are towards the Swansea end of the
bay. WARNING: There are no Lifeguard patrols
operated in Swansea Bay. |
