The five mile stretch of coast between Port Eynon and Mewslade Bay is the best piece of coastal path on the Gower Peninsula. The path itself perches on the sides of the limestone cliffs and affords spectacular views of the coastal landscape.
Of particular interst to surfers will be the few top quality reef breaks along this section of coast. All are definatley not for beginners, breaking in shallow water over sharp, barnacle encrusted rocks with difficult entry and exit points. For the more experienced and those willing to explore, the reefs along this stretch of coastline (Petes, Sumpters, Overton and Boiler) may be well worth the effort involved in finding and getting to them. When everywhere else is flat, one of these hidden wave may well be working. All are badly affected by SW winds though and exit points become difficult (or impossible) at high tide.
Sumpters is the easiest of the waves, Boiler Reef is probably the best lefthand wave on the gower, with barreling sections breaking in very shallow water.
