Bracelet Bay

With views out to Mumbles Lighthouse, Bracelet Bay is mainly made up of rock and pebbles, forming numerous rock pools, although there are some areas of sand at low tide. Possibly taking its name from the amalgamation of ‘broad slade,’ Bracelet Bay has a lifeguard presence between May and September. Even so, swimmers should stay clear of the two islands which form Mumbles Head as rip currents are frequent here.

A short distance from both ends of Bracelet Bay are restaurants serving up a range of family favourites. Public toilets and a children’s playground can also be found behind the Castellamare Italian restaurant on the western side of the beach.

The nearest bus stop is on Mumbles Road, immediately behind Bracelet Bay, where there is also a large car park with charges during the summer months. This sits above the beach along a steep path not suitable for those with reduced mobility or those with children in pushchairs. Bracelet Bay is a designated dog-free beach from May until October.
