The remains of the 16th century Salt House, a scheduled monument, overlooking Port Eynon Point stand testament to the great value given to salt in years gone by.

The Beach House Restaurant, OxwichThis 19th century industrial building has been given a chic contemporary makeover in keeping with its beach location and its industrial heritage. Now a stylish beach side restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating and fabulous panoramic coastal views. Oxwich Castle, Open April – Oct, Wed - SunNot really a castle but the product of a wealthy family's imagination. This fine Tudor house was built in courtyard style with a grand coat of arms carved into the mock military gateway. Subsequent generations made additions to the building but its finest feature must be its wonderful location on a wooded headland overlooking Oxwich Bay.
