Suitability: It can be flat water, but it is predominantly an experts' beach due to the large waves
and strong currents.
Wind And Tide: On the right day this place can be awesome. For true wavesailing a strong South Easterly is best. This produces cross-offshore conditions. Southerly and northerly work well, although anything with too much west tends to be onshore and very closed out, while too much east is very offshore.
Facilities: There is a shop on the campsite and toilets, with a pub and more shops in the village.
Kitesurfing: Not very popular due to the waves, but excellent for buggying at low tide.
Surfing: Possibly the best beach in the area. Hire available at PJ's surf shop in the village.
Location: This is the massive bay that takes up most of the west side of the Gower peninsula. One can get to it either from the south "Rhossili" end, or the north "Hillend" end. It's much better to take the northern access. Once you are through the village of Llangennith access is through the sand dunes at the base of Hillend campsite.
