Gower surfing beaches we Use
GSD uses two beaches on Gower, South West Wales. For Gower we try to pick the best beach to help progress the surfing development process. Therefore we ask customers to check in 4 days prior with us by email ot TXT to find out which beach to meet us on.
Caswell Beach (Mainly during colder months/days and when the surf is too big at Llangennith beach).
Caswell Beach on Google Maps. [51°34'6.56"N :: 4° 1'50.77"W]
This is a great beach to learn at due to its safe sloping sandy beach, beach rescue patrol and location close to Mumbles. We use this beach when the surf is too big at Llangennith.We have a GSD changing hut here on the beach at Caswell.
Llangennith Beach (When the surf is too small at Caswell beach).
Llangennith Beach on Google Maps. [51°37'21.25"N :: 4°16'34.20"W]
At Llangennith you need to drive into and through the famous Hillend campsite, we always park our large white mini-bus with GSD all over it down by the bottom car park near the beach access. This is near the coastguard phone.

I find the beaches near Trevarnon Bay just below Padstow in Cornwall are great for surfing. I was looking for a caravan hire site near there this year but I had to resort to Cleethorpes which lacked the surf but was a good laugh anyway.
