Mumbles
Mwmbwls
A Victorian seaside town at the western end of Swansea Bay. Its promenade, ice cream parlors, and lighthouse make it a top choice for weekend outings.
Mumbles sits at the western end of Swansea Bay, about 8 km from the city centre by the seafront cycle path, either on foot or by bike. Cafés, seafood restaurants, and the long-established ice cream parlor Joe's line the seafront. The town also has Oystermouth Castle and boutique shops in its side streets. On two small islands just off the headland stands the Mumbles Lighthouse, built in 1794. Nearby Bracelet Bay is a good spot to watch the sunset. Bus routes 2, 2B, and 3 run from the city centre and take about 20 minutes.
