Port Eynon Bay is a broad, south-facing sandy bay shared by the villages of Port Eynon and Horton, one of the safer swimming beaches on the Gower. There’s a large car park, a shop and a campsite behind the dunes, plus lifeguards in season. West along the shore, at low tide, lies the strange walled cave of Culver Hole.
