Mumbles is a short distance from Swansea, yet Mumbles holidays retain a character a world apart from the neighbouring city. Although rich in natural beauty, Mumbles offers plenty to see and do. The shopping area includes independent boutiques, surf shops and traditional craft outlets for quaint souvenirs of Wales.
The Mumbles Mile is still the place to be for a lively night out – keep an eye out for the Antelope and The Mermaid, which was a favourite haunt of Dylan Thomas! The monthly Mumbles Farmer’s Market is a great chance to pick up some local produce – including cheese, meats and fruit. Visitors to Mumbles in September may wish to get involved with the Gower Cycling Festival.
Family breaks in Mumbles during summer are bound to include visits to one of the area’s enviable beaches. Mumbles Beach can be found between Bracelet Bay and Mumbles Pier, and can be accessed via the steps from the pier. One of the best-loved aspects of Mumbles Beach are its rock pools when the tide goes out.
Nearby Bracelet Bay is another favourite for those on beach holidays in Mumbles. This limestone beach has a large car park, a cafe and toilet facilities. A Blue Flag holder, this beach is also lifeguarded and can be quieter than some of the area’s other sands. Langland Bay is famous for its surfing conditions, and has impressed visitors with its seaside beauty and activities for generations.
As Mumbles sits in a region associated with ice cream, the selection of ice cream parlours and unique recipes will delight ice cream lovers of all ages! An ice cream-themed Mumbles walk is available for the truly keen, which takes in each of the village’s best spots for a sweet treat. As a seaside resort, many of Mumbles restaurants serve fresh fish and seafood from local sources. A self-catering Mumbles holiday is a great excuse to sample some of the area’s delicious cuisine.
There are plenty of activities around the area ideal for those who choose dog friendly holidays in Mumbles. There are many walks in and around the village which are a great way to explore this beautiful part of the Gower Peninsula with your pet. For those who love a stroll along the shore whilst their four-legged friend explores, several of the area’s beaches welcome dogs all year round. Bracelet Bay in Mumbles, Three Cliffs, Oxwich Bay and Llangennith Beach are all dog friendly. Many of the area’s pubs and sites are also pet friendly.
