Explore Gower by sea with a boat tour
What better way to view the beautiful Gower coastline than by boat? Gower Coast Adventures offer guided boat tours from Oxwich Bay to Worm’s Head, taking in the stunning scenery of the coastline and the chance to spot a variety of marine wildlife!
Having provided tours for over ten years, Gower Coast Adventures have a wealth of local knowledge, allowing you to learn the fascinating history of some of Gower’s most unique beaches, whilst skimming across the sea.
Tours run from the beginning of April to the end of October and can be booked online via the link below:

Ride the waves at Oxwich Bay
Oxwich Bay beach is not only ideal for hiking and dog-walking, but watersports too! On a calm day, Oxwich’s serene waters are perfect for a spot of stand up paddle boarding or kayaking, while choppier days make it a good spot for wind surfing.
Oxwich Watersports hire equipment for all of above activities as well as providing bespoke tuition packages for activities such as coasteering, sailing and much more, for those taking to the waves for the first time.
