Langland - Has many loverly houses with views over the sea. Just a little way out of the busy centre of Mumbles. This area benefits from the two most popular and child friendly beaches in the area, Langland and Rotherslade. Connected at low tide but each with its own charm and character. Rotherslade, or Little Langland, is a small cove with interesting rock formations and caves. Steep steps lead down from a cafe terrace to the beach. So if you don’t feel energetic have a coffee and admire the view. Langland Bay itself is more accessible, with a slip allowing pushchairs onto the beach. A curving bay with Victorian beach huts and palm trees. Ample parking and three eateries, one an upmarket licensed Brasserie and the other two beach side cafes with everything from bacon sandwiches (to dream about) to buckets and spades. A surfers venue with a designated swimmers area with life guards on duty. Rock pools galore and lovely golden sand, watch the world go by whilst you eat your sarnie. At one end of the beach is Langland Golf club which borders the path that leads across the cliffs to Caswell Bay and the rest of Gower. There is another excellent cafe at Caswell to spur you on to Brandy Cove and Pwll Du Bay. Don’t get carried away as the path continues around the whole of Gower to Worm’s Head and beyond to the LLougher Estuary. Easy walking (if a bit uphill) to Mumbles itself from Langland Bay. Langland is an excellent location from which to venture out to the rest of the Gower. A drink outside the Langland Brasserie might persuade you to stay put.
