Limeslade is a small rocky cove tucked round the corner from Mumbles Head, at the very eastern end of the Gower coast path. More pebbles and rock pools than sand, it has a café above and parking nearby, and makes an easy start or finish for a clifftop walk. Swansea station is around 7km to the north-east.
