Broughton Bay

Broughton Bay[1] is a beach of the Gower Peninsula, South Wales,[2] located at the north western tip.

The bay is not suitable for swimming or other water sports due to its proximity to the Loughor estuary.

The waters experience very strong currents from the Loughor estuary with powerful waves along with high tides and shifting sand banks.

When a strong south westerly wind is blowing, dedicated windsurfers can be seen on the waters near the bay.

There are caravan parks at each end of the bay but the beach tends to remain quiet even during summer periods, partially because there is no life guard on duty.
