Located on the southwestern tip of the Gower Peninsula, Rhossili Bay - also known as Rhossili Bay Beach - is a three-mile-long and wide beige sand beach.  This beach has won numerous awards and has been recognized as one of the best beaches in the United Kingdom and Europe several times over the years.  The beach is positioned along the shores of Bristol Channel and has an amazing background of rugged cliffs, protected dunes, coastal vegetation, and many oceanfront buildings, including a few shops, restaurants, and hotels, which together provide incredible views of Worm's Head and the vast Atlantic Ocean.   Rhossili Bay is managed by the National Trust - Rhosili and South Gower Coast, ensuring the conservation and protection of its natural and cultural heritage.

Many locals refer to Rhossili Bay as Llangennith Sand, and it has been the filming location for many movies and sitcoms.  The beach has also earned many titles over the years, including ‘The Supermodel of British Beaches’ by The Independent, and has also won accolades from UK Travel Writers and The Times, which nominated Rhossili as ‘The UK's No. 1 dog-friendly beach’.
