Rhossili Bay is a wide sandy bay at the southwestern tip of the Gower Peninsula in Wales, beside the small village of Rhossili, about 25 km west of Swansea city in a straight line. It lies within the first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty designated in the United Kingdom. The sandy beach stretches 4.5 km in an arc north from the village and is backed by dunes. Behind the beach, north of the village, rises Rhossili Down, with the highest point on the Gower Peninsula and Iron Age remains on its slopes. The name Rhossili is thought to mean Sulein's moorland promontory. The long golden beach curves between the open sea and a steep green hillside, with waves breaking in line after line of white. At low tide the timbers of an old wreck show in the sand, and at the southern end the rocky headland of Worm's Head runs out to sea. Several walks begin, end or pass through the village, and the headland and the Down give panoramic views over the whole bay. Surfers favour the Llangennith end and the length of the beach.
