Port Eynon Bay

About Port Eynon Bay

Port Eynon is a sandy and rocky bay near the southern tip of the Gower, running east towards Horton. Most Gower beaches are open sand and hold little glass, but collectors single out Port Eynon as the best spot on the peninsula, as long as you stick to the right corners rather than the open sand.

Sea glass at Port Eynon Bay

Rare blues are reported at the little stream at the Horton end, and one collector called it 'the best spot on the Gower by far'. Search either side of the boat slip at Port Eynon and around the stream; one hunter who stuck to the open sand found just five pieces in hours.

Visiting Port Eynon Bay

Safety

Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
