Police have put a dispersal order in place at Langland Bay after a rise in reports of anti-social behaviour.
The Section 35 order gives officers the power to move on anyone involved in anti-social behaviour in the area, which includes the popular beachside car park.
South Wales Police said the order would remain in place until 6pm on Friday, 26 June.
It covers Langland Bay Road, the car park, the seafront and the beach itself, as shown on a map released by the force.
A Section 35 dispersal order is a temporary power that lets officers direct people to leave a defined area, and not return within a set period, where anti-social behaviour is causing or likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
The force said it had acted following increased reports of anti-social behaviour in the area.
Inspector Simon Trick said officers wanted people to be able to enjoy the coast during the hot spell, but to do so considerately.
“We want everyone to enjoy our beachfront areas in Swansea and the Gower during this hot weather, but they must be respectful of others around them,” he said.
“Our officers are working with nearby community leaders in order to identify local ASB problems which require solving.”
The order comes during a spell of record-breaking heat that has drawn large crowds to the coast across Swansea and Gower.
It is not the first time hot-weather crowds have brought trouble to the region’s beaches. At Easter, police dealt with disorder at Aberavon after a lifebuoy was set alight, while officers recently stepped up patrols at Briton Ferry over fears of a bank holiday gathering.
Anyone with information about anti-social behaviour in the area can contact South Wales Police.
