Gower Peninsula: Port Eynon in March

It's hard to believe that these shots were taken at Port Eynon in mid-March, just a few days ago. Temperatures were tolerable without a coat or sweater, too. The Gower Peninsula can be surprisingly warm at this time of the year, and holiday accommodation is much cheaper than when the holiday season is at its peak.


All the seafront shops, cafes and takeaways were open, so off-season visitors were well catered for. In fact, most of the cafes, etc, on Gower seem to open almost all-year round these days, something unheard of until a few years ago.


I absolutely love Port Eynon bay at this time of year. Sadly, it's a part of the Gower Peninsula that gets too crowded for my tastes during the summer. But provided you pick a nice, sunny day, Port Eynon can be a delightful and tranquil place to visit off-season, even in winter, or early spring, as it is now.
