Find out the most Googled places in Mumbles during the pandemic.

Mumbles has always attracted tourists from all around the UK – and even from abroad – due to its sandy beaches, beautiful views, and top-quality eateries.

While the various lockdowns throughout the pandemic have halted visits, people are still interested in what Mumbles has to offer.

Read on for the most Googled places in Mumbles over the last 12 months.

Cheers

Located on both Newton Road and West Cross Lane, Google searches for the shop increased sharply in the few months after the first lockdown was announced.

The Choice Is Yours

The grocery shop on Mumbles Road has been open throughout the pandemic to ensure residents can continue to shop local.

Yallops

The seafront fish and chips shop is popular with locals and tourists alike.

Prezzo

Google searches for the popular restaurant sharply increased after Eat Out to Help Out launched in August.

Marks and Spencer

The supermarket on Newton Road opened just a couple of months before we went into lockdown.

Bistrot Pierre

Much like Prezzo, Google queries for the restaurant in Oyster Wharf reached their peak at the start of August, coinciding with the launch of Eat Out to Help Out.

Dawson's

The pandemic hasn't stopped people from buying or selling houses. In fact, in a top ten list compiled by Rightmove, Mumbles' average property asking price had risen by 47% since 2015 – a bigger five-year increase than any other coastal area in the UK.

Upland's and Mumbles Surgery

The surgery is located on Queen's Road.

Tesco

Located on Newton Road, Google searches for the supermarket reached their peak in August.

Astley's

People continued to search for property with the South Wales-based firm.

Like many local eateries in the area, the popular Indian restaurant turned to take-aways when lockdown hit.

Cash Hardware

The hardware shop has been supplying locals with everything from plants to pots and pans for years.

Mermaid

The popular restaurant made their menu available by take-away during the lockdowns.
