Suitability: On lighter days early intermediates should be ok. As it gets rougher so it gets more demanding. Wind & Tide: The bay itself gets is best sailed in SW to w winds and as such gets progressively rougher as you go downwind (towards Horton) with some good quality waves in between the two launches. There is also a nice riding wave out by Port Eynon point, if you don't mind sailing far out. Facilities: There is a nice Caf and pub at Port Eynon, with very little facilities at Horton, other than the odd opportunist thief. Kitesurfing: Good in the winter as the beach tends to be very empty. Surfing: Good on a big swell. There is a nice beach break equidistant from port Eynon & Horton which can get busy. There are some awesome reefs "round the corner" -I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you!!!- Location: Horton is the east end of this bay and Port Eynon the west. To get here follow the A4118 along the south of the Gower until you reach either end. At Port Eynon you can park relatively close to the water, at Horton it is a short walk through Sand dunes.
