Whiteford Sands is a two mile expanse of beach on the northern side of the Gower Peninsula in South Wales. It is the most northerly beach on Gower and sits on the edge of the Loughor estuary.

Behind the dunes is the national nature reserve of Whiteford Burrows and a few small coniferous plantations. This beach was once part of a firing range and there are signs warning against touching unidentified objects. Off the end of Whiteford Point stands an old lighthouse which is now the only cast iron lighthouse, surrounded by sea in the UK, it stands on a spit at the north end of the beach, and can be reached at low tide.

At most stages of the tide it is possible to walk to neighbouring Broughton Bay. There are fast currents along this beach and swimming is dangerous, but it's a good beach for sunbathing, escaping the crowds and exploringThe beach is well-known for being favoured by naturists, although local residents do not approve of the practice. Its relative inaccessibility compared to many other beaches in the Gower and being extensive, quiet and secluded beach, it is perfect for naturists. The beach is so large - and the number of visitors so few - that you may not see any other naturists and believing that you are in the wrong location.
