In general, it's not legal to drive on beaches in the UK. The only one in South Wales that it's allowed on is Pendine Sands. Darren

it's not legal to break the speed limit either Mr. Green

but thanks for the heads up. there is access onto the beach for launching boats etc. I guess I could use that and take a wrong turn? Rolling with laughter

The slipway at Mumbles is I think controlled by the yacht club. Boats are only really launched by vehicles at high tide off the concrete slipway itself, not by driving onto the beach at lower tide. Driving on the beach is a big no-no, not least because you will stick out like a sore thumb as 'the k**b with a 4x4 on the beach' amongst all the kids and dogs playing... Whistle

Can't help with safe overnight parking at either Swansea or Neath sorry, although it should be safe during the day, especially in the Mumbles where it's not unusual to see the footballers parking their supercars in amongst a brace of Rangie's, Tesla's and Audi's. Plenty of Defender's there too.

Thumbs Up

When I lived in the UK with my parents, in the fifties, we'd go to Swansea (Morriston) for our holidays, and we'd go to Mumbles, I think there was a tram running there in those days. Gower, Caswell, are names familiar to me!
