Mumbles Beach may not have much sand, but it's still a great spot to relax and enjoy the view of Swansea. Stop by Verdi's for a coffee or Joe's for an ice cream before finding a spot to sit. Don't forget to check out the arcade and take a stroll to the end of the pier.

The beach was nice, but unfortunately the tides were high when we arrived. It's a lovely place to visit, well-maintained with toilets and changing rooms.

This beach is the best! It has relaxing and fun arcades, two great dining options, and a pier where boats dock. It's a great way to spend a few hours away from home. Plus, there are local bus routes connecting straight from Swansea Bus Station.
