Port Eynon is the most southerly point on Gower. It has much to offer visitors and locals alike with its large clean beach and bracing cliff walks. The town is thought to be named after an Eleventh Century Welsh Prince, Eynon. Once there was a booming trade in Oyster fishing (the remains of the Oyster Pools and the old harbour wall can be seen at low tide), limestone quarrying, lobstering and crabbing. The Blue Flag beach has convenient pubs, toilets and car parks within easy reach. Sailing and windsurfing are very popular here.
