I spent 2 months there this summer and I am moving to Swansea this September. It is a beautiful place. I definitely would suggest going to The Mumbles and having some Verdi’s ice cream. All the locals seem to love Joe’s much more.
The Quadrant (the mall) isn’t worth much, but they have a ton of stores that we don’t have here in the states.
The Gower is UNBELIEVABLE! There is really nothing like it. The beaches here are amazing. Rhossili and Caswell are beautiful. Nicholston beach is difficult to get down to but lovely once you are there.
