Port Eynon is located on the southernmost point of the Gower Peninsula. The village has a long history of oyster fishing, crabbing, lobstering and limestone quarrying, as well as the less honest trade of smuggling.

At the far end of Port Eynon Bay stands the ruins of a salt house. This was used in the 18th Century to extract salt from the seawater. Many rumours exist of the building’s part in smuggling and there is supposedly a lost tunnel leading from the salt house, down which the contraband was taken to avoid capture.
