Pwlldu beach, a pebble raised-beach not easily accessible by car, and
there's also the Culver Hole at Port Eynon.

Thanks so much for your very positive remarks - all verified since I was already there when you posted! :-))
Indeed, we rented a flat with a view directly over Arthur's Stone!
Did the glorious walk down to Three Cliffs Bay.
Saw all your other suggestions and a lot more!
Gower really is a gem, unrealised by many.
Thanks again.
Lol! I've been on holiday and just saw your post. I didn't notice the
date Duh!
Glad you enjoyed it anyway. I really loved the time there, it really is
lovely. There are some tourist hotspots, but many hardly known gems.

Well, what typifies Gower, I think, is Rhossili Bay.
Voted by someone as the world's best beach, before going I checked the webcam and it was virtually empty in August!
Got there in early September, and indeed it was empty, all several miles of it.
Glorious scenery untouched.
Apparently it's just too much trouble for most to take a half-hour drive to it - thank goodness!
I loved Rhossili. Is the skeleton of the boat wreck still there at low
tide? The northern end of the beach with the dunes and rabbit warrens, and
the spider-crabs in knee-deep water nibbling your toes. Memories :-)

Yep, the wreck's still there.
We walked the estuary side of the northern dunes, totally alone & magical. A traffic jam ensued walking back up the hill due to 3 cockle fishermen walking on the way down! :-))
