Off to Gower this weekend and may be pembrokshire for the first time.

Can you Guys recomend best locations to shoot, rocky coastal lines, Sand dunes and beaches, lakes or somewhere inland and best time of day

Much appreciated in advance

Issa,
Mewslade Bay just to the SSE of Rhossili. It's only uncovered at low tide (for a few hours either side) so check the tide tables. Park at Pitton - there's a (£2) parking area in a farmer's field just to the left of the road into Rhossili - and it's about 1/2 mile walk. Type Pitton into Google Maps and you can see the car park. The Bay is to the SW. CAUTION - don't get cut off in the small bays within Mewslade Bay by the incoming tide.
See http://www.virtuallygrey.co.uk/Mewslade/mewslade.html for some idea of what it's like.

Sorry about my lack of photographic ability, but it might give you an idea of whether you want to go to either or not!
