WHAT FACILITIES ARE AVAILABLE?Changing Facilities: Q1: Do you have changing rooms? Yes, we offer a small shared changing room for our customers. Q2: How long can I use the changing room? We kindly ask that you limit your time in the changing room to ensure others have the opportunity to use it. Please be mindful of the space and those waiting. Q3: What if the changing room is full? If needed, you may change on the beach or in other available spaces. We recommend arriving with swimwear already on beneath your clothing to help make your changing time easier. Toilets: Oxwich Beach offers two public toilet facilities. It's important to note that the closest facility to us closes after 5pm in the summer and remains closed throughout the winter. The second toilet block, located at the opposite end of the car park, is open year-round. Showers: Kindly ensure you have showered beforehand, as Ty Sawna does not offer shower facilities. Embrace the classic bucket rinse or take a refreshing sea dip for a rejuvenating experience. Parking: Our location at the tranquil end of Oxwich Bay car park, just before the sand dunes, allows convenient parking next to the sauna for most of the year. However, be mindful that the car park can get busier in the summer. We recommend planning your departure with extra time to account for potential queues (Parking charges apply). Please be aware that campervans are prohibited from entering the main carpark during the summer months. Storage: We offer storage boxes in the changing room. However, space is limited, so we recommend bringing only essentials. Please leave valuable items or anything high-risk at home or in your car, as the changing room is not locked.
