My parents retired to the Gower as they were originally from there before moving to Herefordshire. There are some beautiful unspoilt beaches such as Three Cliffs, Tor, Pobbles, to name a few. In actual fact I think that Oxwich is the least attractive of the bays. They lived in Pennard and had a golf course between them and the beach.
I don’t think that you can generalise about people as you have all types in all areas.
