Bracelet Bay
Encyclopedia
Bracelet Bay is a small bay on the south of the Gower Peninsula
. It is the first bay one comes to after leaving Swansea Bay
and rounding Mumbles Head.
Surrounded by limestone cliffs the bay is pebbly, with some sand. It is excellent for a picnic, and affords good views of Mumbles light-house. One should bathe with caution. Above the beach is a carpark, with restaurants and a bar; while to the west the bay is separated from Limeslade Bay
by Tutt Hill, which carries a coastguard look-out station.
The name 'Bracelet' is thought to be a corruption of 'Broad Slade'.
