Tide Times, Beach Safety & Local Etiquette

Gower’s tides shape the landscape and rhythm of coastal life. Knowing when to visit beaches like Worm’s Head or Three Cliffs Bay safely is key to an enjoyable trip. A little awareness goes a long way towards protecting both you and the environment.

Highlights

– **Tide Times Matter:** Worm’s Head is only accessible for a few hours at low tide.

– **Beach Flags:** Red & yellow = swim zone, red = no swimming.

– **Respect Nature:** Avoid cliff edges and nesting zones.

– **Leave No Trace:** Take all litter home.

Safety Guidelines

– Always check tide times before exploring tidal areas.

– Swim only on lifeguarded beaches (Rhossili, Caswell, Port Eynon).

– Watch for soft sand and hidden currents.

– Supervise children closely — tides change quickly.
