It is one of Swansea and Gower's most popular locations for an evening stroll, boasting stunning sunsets over a sheltered bay.
But one idea to make the experience there even better has not met with universal support.
Opinion is well and truly divided over an idea to install low-level lighting at Langland Bay. While some Gower residents say lighting would make them feel safer and more comfortable when walking along Langland prom of an evening, others fear lights could turn the gorgeous Gower hotspot into a partyland, although it has resembled one in the past at times.

The debate has been sparked by Conservative councillor for Newton ward, Cllr William Thomas, who shared a diagram on social media showing where lights could be installed on the prom, if approved by Swansea Council, and asked for local residents to share their views.
Mr Thomas told Wales Online that he was recently approached by a local resident and asked whether it would be possible to put lights on the prom, so he contacted Swansea Council to draft a preliminary image of where lights could go.
The image had "split opinion," Cllr Thomas said, although he added he was keen to hear from more residents on what they thought about the possibility.
He said: "One of my constituents contacted me and asked if I'd look into a scheme for lights on Langland prom. There have been some cases of anti-social behaviour and some people don't feel safe down there in the dark.
"I got a quote from the council and shared an image on social media - and it's split opinion. Around 80 per cent of commenters on my page were positive, but 80 per cent on the 'I Love Langland' group [a community group on Facebook] were negative."
Mr Thomas regularly shared his ideas and proposals on social media, he said, and liked to receive feedback from his constituents "to get a guide to what they thought".
"In my opinion, the council should communicate with the public far more, on a large number of issues that happen across the city," he added. "I hope my constituents appreciate the opportunity to comment on schemes such as this."
'It's a brilliant idea'
Among those in support of the proposal, Andrea Lang from Newton thought lighting would encourage more people to visit Langland and would make residents and visitors alike feel more comfortable during the evenings.
"It's a brilliant idea because we'd have more people walking along the prom in the evening when it's dark," she said. "It's a very good idea as long as they're not vandalised! I'd love it. And as the lighting proposed is low level, I don't think it would affect any of the residents."
A fellow local resident, Steve Hale, added: "Low level [lighting] would be good minimal environmental impact and safer for all. It can be timed to switch off or dim after midnight!"

Another resident, who asked to be anonymous, said they'd support lighting being installed if there had been a rise in anti-social behaviour or other incidents reportedly locally, but would not want to see it placed there for any other reason.
"I think if there have been some instances of issues on Langland prom, attacks, robberies or similar, where lighting would prevent these, then it would be good to have from a safety aspect, but I'm not aware of any of these," the resident said. "Have there been any in recent years? If not, then let's leave it natural and beautiful. [But] I do support having them on Swansea promenade."
'No to lights - Langland is not Benidorm!'
But Langland resident Sally Buckland Jones did not want to see lights installed there at all, as she feared they would take away from the waterfront's natural beauty.
Responding to Cllr Thomas's question "Would you support low level lighting on Langland promenade?," she said: "No I think not! Tidy up the prom and keep toilets clean but lighting not required. It's not Benidorm.
"At night often there is light reflecting off the sea. As long as bushes are cut back, it would be safe for night time strollers."
She told Wales Online she wanted to see investment in the facilities at Langland instead of night time lighting.
"I was born and bred in Langland. Like many, I love Langland for its natural beauty," she said. "I believe in enhancing the bay with better facilities for those who enjoy the beach, with improved shower and toilet facilities, the tennis courts to be upgraded and importantly the vegetation to be cut back to contain the vermin population - but importantly, not to add night time lighting.
"The bay is often lit by the moon and stars and fluorescence from the waves - this could be lost with artificial lighting.
"Unlike Mumbles prom which is a thoroughfare and thus benefits from lighting, Langland is a beautiful sandy beach and we need to enhance its natural beauty by caring for what is there and without adding artificial embellishments."

The discussion of the potential new lights was at a very early stage, Cllr Thomas said, but he added that he would be interested to hear any locals' views via his social media page.
