Along Swansea's seafront, there is a wonderful bike path that traces Swansea Bay. With fantastic views across the bay, the traffic-free path leads 5.8 miles (9.3 km) between the Observatory and Mumbles Head.

The path passes plenty of cafes, restaurants and pubs if you get thirsty or hungry along the way.
