Gower Peninsula.
But I'd also suggest the below.
Walk between Bolt Tail and Start Point, south Devon. Stunning scenery. You won't regret it. Go to Hope Cove, walk up to Bolt Tail. On the way to Bolt Head you'll pass Soar Mill Cove, where the Herzogin Cecilie was wrecked on the Ham Stone and later towed into Starehole Bay at the entrance of Salcombe Harbour, where the remains of the wreck can be seen to this day at low (spring) tide.

When you pass Bolt Head, you'll see Starehole Bay, Sharpitor, South Sands, North Sands, the Poundstone (rock, marked by a beacon, which is also part of the leading lights into Salcombe Harbour), Blackstone (marked by a beacon), the Wolf Rock (marked by a green buoy), Sunny Cove, Millbay Beach, Telegraph Beach (there is an underwater cable there marked by a white triangle), Smalls Cove and Fisherman's Cove.
Cross Salcombe Harbour via the ferry. Maybe have a quick cows in the Ferry Inn. Salcombe lifeboat is moored nearby in the entrance to Batson Creek. It's the Baltic Exchange 3, a Tamar class.
On the way you'll see the beaches above. When you get to Limebury Point, there's a cave there, but access to it from land is difficult. Then on the way to Prawle Point, you'll see Gara Sands, Venericks Cove, Elender cove. Between Prawle Point and Start Point youl'll see Lannacombe Beach and Mattiscombe Sands. At Start Point (lighthouse) (*) you can go further towards Dartmouth on the coast path. You'll see Hallsands (a village destroyed by the sea), Beesands, Torcross/Slapton sands, where there is Slapton Lea (a nature reserve) and the Start Bay Inn. The pub is run by the Stubbs family and they catch some of their own food.
(*) The light has three different coloured light beacons for navigation past the Skerries Bank off Torcross.

This type of scenery was right on my doorstep for the best part of 21 years.
