Port Eynon

Port Eynon sits at the southern tip of the Gower Peninsula. Small in size but rich in character, it’s a place where the pace is slow, the air is fresh and the views stretch endlessly over the bay.

The village is filled with history, tales and folklore - sometimes blurring together. Stories of smugglers landing under the cover of darkness mingle with accounts of shipwrecks, lifeboat rescues and family stories. Today, Port Eynon is a welcoming community with cosy cafés, a friendly pub and spots to enjoy fresh seafood while soaking up the coastal atmosphere.

The Beach

Port Eynon Beach is a wide arc of golden sand sheltered between rocky headlands, making it one of the most inviting shorelines on the Gower. Its gently sloping waters are perfect for swimming and paddling, while the surrounding dunes and rock pools provide plenty to explore.

In the summer months, the beach is patrolled by the RNLI, offering added reassurance for families and swimmers. On warm days, it comes alive with visitors enjoying the sea, water sports and picnics on the sand. In the quieter months, it’s a place of calm, with crisp sea air and long, uninterrupted views across the bay. Whether you’re here to relax on the sand, wander the coastal path or watch the sunset spill over the horizon, Port Eynon Beach captures the Gower at its most welcoming.
