We are regular visitors to The Lighthouse at Bracelet Bay and the quality of the food and service along with the spectacular views is superb. A special mention for Silvia who is always so kind and friendly and provides such a first class service. She always welcomes us with a warm smile and always asks how we are. Such a lovely lady.

We parked in the car park and were taken away by the beautiful view. You can sit on a bench and just enjoy the view, do a little 10 minute walk to a look point or do a more substantial walk onto either beaches. There’s also a nice looking cafe there, which was quite busy when we arrived so we didn’t go in, but it looked nice enough!

A really unexpectedly lovely hidden gem, and very easy to get to!

Great place to visit. Very large car park overlooking the bay, lighthouse and the Severn estuary. Large restaurant, Castellamare, on the headland. Childrens play area. Small sandy beach, with numerous rock pools to explore. Ok for paddling but NOT swimming because of the rip tides. Great area for walking. Vibrant Mumbles nearby.

Tonight we visited Bracelet Bay. I have to say I cannot begin to express how disgusted my family & I are at the utter lack of management & care for what is otherwise a beautiful, special & fragile site. The beach is littered with rubbish, dangerous fishing hooks and line (I removed several long lines and hooks). The car park & road leading in was being used as a race track, kids constantly using thier horns, shouting & driving around at high speed doing handbrake turns in the car park, drinking & driving. A teenager almost hit our car & just continued. My 9 year old niece was terrified. Do the authorities in Swansea actually care about its environment & the safety of law abiding visitors? We were in the car park for 1 hour hoping it would calm down, it just kept getting worse & there was not an officer in site. For such an affluent area, the management of the area is incredibly poor.

On a lovely sunny day Bracelet Bay is absolutely beautiful.
I find it impossible to drive past and not stop, even for a few minutes. It's so relaxing to watch the waves, people walking their dogs, children building sand castles and so on. All from the comfort of your car parked high up overlooking Bracelet Bay. Very popular with the locals.

Decided to give Bracelet Bay a visit as me and my beautiful girlfriend were looking for a place local to us with views and a beach. We went to the beach to see the rock pools and for a relaxing stroll. The beach was calm very relaxing and clean and the views on top in the car park are amazing too. Nice place for families and couples too.

A small but perfectly formed bay which is quite rocky with the limestone outscrops and is very peaceful

I have to post a positive review as my wife was actually born in a cafe that used to exist at one side of Bracelet Bay.

Beautiful Bay with breath taking views. Should go when it's less cold and the scenery would be even more beautiful I am sure. Just need to park at the correct carpark along the Mumbles road to enjoy the full view
