Framed by three distinctive limestone pillars that give the bay its name, this secluded cove on the Gower Peninsula is accessible only by foot, ensuring it remains one of Wales' most pristine coastal gems. The golden sand beach sits beneath dramatic cliffs and dunes, with the medieval ruins of Pennard Castle perched romantically on the clifftop. The challenging 20-minute walk from Penmaen or Southgate deters casual visitors, rewarding the more adventurous with a peaceful stretch of sand perfect for swimming, rock pooling, and photography. The bay's unique geological features and relative isolation have made it a favorite location for film and television productions.
