Enjoy beautiful coastal scenery at Caswell Bay. Surf, canoe, or just paddle in the rock pools. Explore caves, follow one of the trails, and watch the waves crashing against the cliffs. The beach has restrooms and shops selling snacks and beach toys. Arrive by bus or car. There is a parking lot, but in the summer months arrive early to secure a space. Beware, the parking lot has a reputation for cars being broken into or stolen. Put Caswell Bay and other Swansea attractions into our Swansea planner, and watch your holiday take shape.

    Absolutely gorgeous beach. Clean and well cared for. Car park was full as always but well worth a visit, every day of the week.
