Beaches Management Plan 2021-2023

The BMP is in place to ensure the good management of Council-run beaches and that authority maintains Blue Flag status for Caswell Bay, Langland Bay and Port Eynon / Horton.

Purpose

The BMP covers five Council-run beaches, which are key to the destination, both in terms of residents and visitor economy:

  • Langland Bay - Blue Flag
  • Caswell Bay - Blue Flag
  • Horton/Port Eynon - Blue Flag
  • Bracelet Bay - Green Coast
  • Swansea Bay - SSSI

The BMP aims to manage those beaches efficiently, raise quality and retain their Blue Flag / Green Coast / SSSi status.

Strategic Priorities

  • Overall operational management
  • Improved facilities, infrastructure and public realms
