City by the Sea
Swansea
is famed for its stunning beaches and parks, most of which are easily
accessible by bus. There are many companies running organised activities in surfing, horse
riding, kite surfing, wind surfing and sailing. There are also
opportunities for hiking and cycling in
Swansea
and the Gower.
You can also visit the Mumbles for shopping and a day out with its
boutiques, delis, pubs and surf shops. Mumbles is renowned for the
‘Mumbles Mile’, the mile-long pub-crawl that runs along the sweep of
the bay.
