Langland Bay, Coastal beach resort in Gower Peninsula, Wales.
Langland Bay is a beach on the Welsh coast with wide sandy areas, rocky sections, and shallow pools teeming with marine life. The bay stretches over several kilometres and offers different areas for exploration and relaxation.
The beach became a popular holiday destination in the middle of the 20th century for families from Swansea and surrounding valleys. This period shaped its growth as a resort and its character to this day.
The bay draws its name from the French artists who visited and painted here in the 1800s. Visitors today can still feel the traces of this artistic past through works displayed in Welsh museums.
The beach is easy to reach with two large car parks at the edge of the bay and good facilities for swimmers. There are outdoor showers and other amenities that make visiting comfortable.
An area called Crab Island is known among surfers worldwide for unusually strong right-breaking waves. This section of the beach attracts experienced surfers seeking challenging conditions.
