Beschrijving
Beautiful views and plenty of places to explore in a relatively small area, including the pier, rockpools, and beach. Parking and places to eat also in abundance. Huge noisy colony of Drieteenmeeuw breed underneath the pier in late summer, allowing for very close and intimate views of chicks and adults with little disturbance. In summer, this is a reliable place to see Zwartkopmeeuw, often side by side with Kokmeeuw. Through winter, flocks of Drieteenstrandloper, Scholekster, and Zilvermeeuw can be seen regularly, along with Aalscholver, Grote Mantelmeeuw, and Kleine Mantelmeeuw. Roodkeelduiker have also been reported here.

Toegang
Parking available throughout Mumbles within walking distnace, and some limited parking available right next to the pier itself. Recommend parking in the 'Big Apple Car Park' on the clifftop above the pier for great views. Cycling is common, including the use of the Swansea Santander hire bikes.

Can be lots of people fishing on the end of the pier, but are often happy to let birders through to see the Drieteenmeeuw.
