The landscape features include sand dunes, salt marshes and woodland. Oxwich Bay includes a 2 1⁄2-mile (4 km) long sandy beach, accessible from the village of Oxwich. It is a popular spot for swimming and watersports including diving, sailing, water skiing and windsurfing. There is a public footpath along the cliffs from Oxwich Bay, around Oxwich Point, and to Port Eynon Bay. Buses run every couple of hours between Oxwich and Port Eynon.

A wetland site at the rear of the dunes forms Oxwich Burrows National Nature Reserve. The dunes are crossed by a small stream called Nicholaston Pill. The bay ends at the eastern end with the cliffs of High Tor but at low tide, a continuous sandy beach connects with Three Cliffs Bay beyond.

A wonderful place. At low tide it is possible to cross over to Three Cliffs Bay on the beach.
