Always great for lunch is The Bay Bistro. Stunning views from every table of Rhossili Beach and home-made cakes. When the tide is low you can see the bones of The Helvitea shipwreck reaching out through the sands. Three Cliffs Bay Three Cliffs is one of Gowers' most iconic beaches and it is easy to see why. The river valley leading down to the sea is complete with castle, salt marshes and sand dunes. The Tor Headland is popular with climbers who can often be seen at dizzying heights - hilgh above the sea.
