Oxwich NNR

This improtant dune and wetland complex is a haven for wildlife all year.

Parking is available at the beach and is currently £2 for cars, there is also a cafe, shop and public toilets near the carpark.

The site is protected by kissing gates which stops the site from being accessible. There is also a lot of soft sand on the tracks in the dune system which would make it awkward for manual and powered wheelchairs.
