Caswell Bay
Caswell is a beautiful Blue Flag beach with a large car park and its own beachside restaurant as well as a snack bar and beach shop. There is a lifeguard in attendance during the summer months and GSD surf school in operation. Out of season this beach becomes a surfer's paradise. Cross the little stream which divides the beach and you are in a lovely cove surrounded by rocks. Don't worry about being being cut off as the tide comes in as there is a second path that leads back to the road. To your left, as you approach the bay at low tide, is a vast expanse of sand bordered by rocks. A cliff path which runs up behind the cafe and around the headland connects Langland and Caswell Bay - In local legend Caswell is called ‘the big boys side’. The coastal path also runs around the headland on the right hand side of the beach towards the beaches of Brandy Cove and Pwll du, but it is easier to pick up this path from the road which runs through the trees on the cliff behind the beach. Caswell is a busy beach in summer but there is plenty of room for all. Inland from the beach there is Bishop’s Wood Nature Reserve with lovely woods where you roam through mature trees. The semi-natural woodland is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and contains a wide range of shrubs and plants. Part of the wood is also classified as ancient woodland.
