Rhossili Beach

Gower Peninsula

Dog friendly?

Dogs are allowed on the beach all year

Access to the beach

A steep concrete path with steps winds down the cliffside, eventually turning into gravel as you approach the beach. The return climb back to the car park is fairly tough, so be prepared for a bit of a workout.

Important information for pet owners

Please take care near the cliff edge, as there are steep drops. Dogs must be kept on lead due to livestock including horses and sheep, grazing along the cliffs. Please remember to pick up after your dog: left waste can be harmful to grazing animals, and sadly there have been cases where foals have lost their lives after ingesting it.
