Learning how to surf or improving your surfing skills is great fun and a healthy activity. The Gower has many Surf schools and is an ideal location to learn due to good westerly swells.

















Once at the beach you will be kitted out with a wet-suit to keep you warm and a specially designed surfboard for beginners. These are softer and more stable than a typical short-board and therefore safer and make it easier to learn. Please visit the links page for Surf school listings.

Beach.


Rhossili Bay is one of the finest natural stretches of unspoilt beaches in Britain, a five mile arc from Worms Head to its northen tip, Burry Holms. The sandy beach is three miles long and backed by sand dunes. A number of vessles have been driven ashore here in the past. The bare ribs of the Helvetica, wrecked in 1887, still show above the the sands near Rhossili.
