Rhi climbing in the beautiful Gower Sunshine © Matthew Edwards
One of Gower's finest sport crags! Super steep 25m routes straight off the golden sand of Rhossili.
Home to the largest concentration of sport climbing on Gower, Shipwreck Cove has something for everyone. The four sectors are all a short walk along the beach (on the left when looking out to sea), and offer a range of climbing from short slabs to monstrous lactic battles in the sky.
The area is a sea cliff and as such should be treated with a degree of caution – there is some loose rock in places and a helmet would be advisable. This being said, the majority of climbing is on great rock in an idillic setting.
There are still a few projects at the crag which are clearly marked as such on here and other topos – please respect this.

This is tidal crag – access is 3hrs either side of low water for Shipwreck Cove and Black Wall, and genrally 2hrs either side of low tide for Castaway Cove and Mermaid Wall. Neap tides could shorten this time for Mermaid Wall.
Parking is available in the National Trust car park directly above Rhossili beach. Pay and Display is £6 for the day (as of 2023), or free for NT members.
