Pwlldu Bay is a small beach on the south coast of the Gower Peninsula in Glamorgan. It is one of the more remote beaches and is not easily accessible by car but there are three narrow footpaths leading down to the beach.
The name is Welsh; Pwll Du meaning "Black Pool".
There is a nearby gully called Grave's End marked by a circle of limestone rocks. This is the burial place of the victims of a grievous shipwreck, that of the Caesar, wrecked on the beach on 28 November 1760.
