Brandy Cove
Apart from the amazing view, one of my favourite things about Brandy Cove is the name of it! This is a small and quiet beach that not many people know about, so it’s great if you’re looking for a bit more peace and quiet. This does mean that there are no lifeguards here, so it’s for people who are more experienced and confident swimming in the sea. Brandy Cove is also quite a rocky beach, so you will have to be wary of that whilst swimming there. There isn’t a car park for this beach, but parking in nearby village is available. It really is a cute little beach that you have to go check out, even if you don’t end up swimming there.Three Cliffs Bay

Langland Bay
Langland Bay is a smaller, sandy beach for wild swimming spots near Swansea. There is a direct bus from Swansea city centre, so it’s a very easy beach to get to with or without a car. It’s one of Swansea’s quieter beaches, as it is smaller, but it’s still a beautiful beach and very easy for people who want to try out wild swimming. There are also lots of little shops and food places nearby as well, making it a lovely little beach to go visit for the day.Pwll Du Bay
Pwll Du Bay is another great wild swimming spot near Swansea. This beach is more pebbly than the others, but that doesn’t make too much of a difference if you’re only going there to swim anyway. This one is a bit more difficult to get to, with no car park and difficult terrain leading to the beach, but once you’re there it’s worth it. It is a small beach, and there are no lifeguards here, so that’s important to keep in mind if you do plan on swimming here.Oxwich
