Gower lends
itself to a large range of water sports, such as surfing, canoeing,
sailing, windsurfing and water skiing. There is also plenty of opportunity
for a leisurely swim or a little paddle in the shallows. Most of
the beaches do NOT have a lifeguard, so don't forget to stay safe
and check the tides. Some people are fortunate enough to have their
own equipment, but for those who don't or would like a 'taster'
session, there are a number of companies listed below that can provide
you with more information.

Personally, I cannot comment further about water
sports on Gower, but if you have any particular stories, photos
or experiences that you would like to share with us, please drop
me an email (details on the contact us page) and I will add it to
this page.
