This is such an expansive long beach, nearly five kilometres from end to end. It is a great place, there are beautiful views of Rhossili Downs overlooking the beach, super nice beach side views of Worms Head, and then on the far side of the sands is the rocky little island of Burry Holmes. To round the whole scene off nearby are the iconic wooden remains shipwrecked Helvetia, with its ribs sticking out of the sand.
