About This Place

Slade beach, or the Sands as it is also known, sits just beyond the end of Port Eynon beach. In fact on a super low tide you can actually get here with dry feet from the Horton end of Port Eynon. --> As the name suggests there is a good sized stretch of sand here, although this depends to a large extent on the state of the tide. To each side of the beach are extensive flat rocks that are home to numerous rock pools, whist to the rear are low cliffs. Access to the beach isn’t terribly straightforward as there is no obvious route down from the coast path between Horton and Oxwich Bay. This means the beach is usually pretty quiet, a fact that made it a favourite with smugglers in years gone by.

💡 Our Take

Slade Bay, located in the idyllic Gower Peninsula, is a hidden gem for dog owners seeking a tranquil escape. This charming beach boasts vast stretches of soft, golden sand perfect for puppies to frolic or older dogs to wander. Dogs are welcome year-round, which makes it a fantastic spot for spontaneous walks regardless of the season. With ample free parking nearby, access is a breeze. However, be aware that there are no immediate facilities, so plan accordingly. Best suited for adventurous big dogs and curious pups alike, Slade Bay offers a peaceful retreat where dogs can enjoy the seawater safely.
