Caring for your dog in Swansea

Swansea-specific tips every dog owner should know

Tidal awareness

Swansea Bay has a large tidal range. Check tides before beach walks. Some Gower beaches can become inaccessible at high tide.

Gower cliff safety

Gower coastal paths have exposed cliff sections. Keep your dog on a lead near cliff edges and avoid narrow sections in wind.

Summer beach rules

Some popular Gower beaches have seasonal dog restrictions May to September. Rhossili and Caswell remain dog-friendly year-round.

Dog-friendly Wales

Swansea and the Gower are very dog-friendly. Many cafes and pubs welcome dogs, especially in Mumbles.
