Rotherslade, Sandy beach in Swansea, Wales
Rotherslade beach forms a continuous sandy stretch with Langland Bay during low tide, featuring rocky outcrops and surrounding cliffs.
The Osborne Hotel, built in 1892, hosted Impressionist painter Alfred Sisley during his honeymoon in 1897, leading to several paintings of the bay.
The beach area includes concrete terracing with privately owned beach huts, reflecting the traditional British seaside recreation culture.
Visitors can access the beach through steps from the Surfside cafe, with additional parking available at Langland Bay, a 10-minute walk away.
The construction of the Osborne Hotel uncovered Rother's Tor Cave in 1892, containing prehistoric artifacts including a mammoth's tooth.
