Langland Bay is the one of the most varied spots in the UK and if you want to be spoilt for choice for different peaks to ride at a single location - Langland Bay is your ideal destination. There is a huge range of peaks, each with waves of a unique character catering for all levels of surfer. At the top of the tide you can get some very short rides on the shorebreak, lefts at Rotherslades and both lefts and rights on The Reef.

Middle Beach produces walling lefts and rights at mid tide and at low tide there is The Point (a reef just off the headland), which produces easy going, well formed waves suitable for anyone. Finally at low tide Crab Island is exposed - one of the best waves in the country; which produces fast, barrelling waves. Indecisive? Then don't come here there's too much choice!

If you have energy left at the end of the day - which is unlikely - and need more from the evening then head back up the A4067 to Swansea. The bright lights of the city holds a multitude of decent restaurants, pubs and clubs.
