In a city blessed with amazing beaches, there's one in Swansea which whilst not the largest is a spectacular attraction in its own right. Sitting at the bottom of a valley, Pwll Du Bay beach is one of the least accessible in the city, with access limited to three footpaths.
So with there being many expansive and far easier located beaches across the city, what makes this one worth the extra effort? Anyone who has visited will tell you that once accessed, the experience is unlike anything else in the city. The beach is made up of a unique bank of thousands of pebbles, flanked by limestone cliffs, within a very secluded and picturesque location.
Its name translates to 'Black Pool' - the bank is partially blocked by a stream which has formed a large pool behind the beach, and filters through the pebble bank onto the beach. Get Swansea stories straight to your inbox with our newsletter.
