Britain's first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is basically one long run of superb beaches — Rhossili, Port Eynon, Oxwich, Three Cliffs, Caswell and round to Mumbles — and Swansea Council backs it up better than most: the blocks at Rhossili, Port Eynon and Horton stay open 24 hours a day, all year, free.
The show-offs are the Changing Places facilities at three of the big beaches — Rhossili, Caswell Bay and Knab Rock in Mumbles — with the Rhossili and Knab Rock rooms open around the clock to RADAR-key holders. The famous gap is Three Cliffs Bay: the nearest toilets are up at the Southgate car park (8am–7pm), a decent walk from the sand, and the wilder north side of the peninsula — Llangennith, Whiteford, Llanrhidian — has next to nothing, so the surf crowd should go before they cross the island.
Check the map before you pick your beach; the honeypots on the south coast are well covered, but the coast path between them, and everything north of Rhossili Down, is on its own.
- Accessibility
- Changing Places toilets at Rhossili, Caswell Bay and Knab Rock (Mumbles) — Rhossili and Knab Rock open 24 hours with a RADAR key, Caswell staffed daytime. Most other accessible cubicles on the peninsula are RADAR-locked; Knab Rock's is open access.
- Seasonal
- Rhossili, Port Eynon and Horton run 24 hours year-round. The seasonal blocks — Caswell, Langland, Oxwich village and the Mumbles sites — stay open all year but close earlier in winter (around 4pm–5.30pm instead of 7pm–9pm).
- Where the gaps are
- Three Cliffs Bay itself (climb to Southgate), the Port Eynon–Rhossili cliff miles, and virtually the whole north coast of the peninsula. The Wales Coast Path between villages is a facility-free zone.
