Bracelet Bay sits just below Mumbles Head, a rocky cove looking straight out to the lighthouse on its tidal islet. More rock pools than sand, it has a car park, café and the coastguard lookout close by, so it makes an easy stop rather than a swimming beach. Swansea station is about 7km to the north.
