Hiking
Whiteford Sands sits on the north-western Gower tip. It offers a stunning 2-mile nature walk along the Loughor Estuary. At the end of the beach is the iconic 1865 cast-iron Whitford lighthouse. This lighthouse is accessible for a short time either side of low tide. This scenic, sandy beach and headland features extensive dunes backed by pine trees, forming a rich nature reserve.
