Police say they hope to tackle the issue now to prevent it from escalating during the summer months.
South Wales Police sergeant Mark Watkins said: "We are not looking to stop people from having fun and enjoying the facilities that Swansea has to offer, but we have to recognise the concerns of residents and visitors who have told us about excessive drinking on the beach, large gatherings and rowdy behaviour which can be intimidating.

"We have increased patrols in this area and officers will be taking positive action and using the various powers available to us to tackle anti-social behaviour."
Swansea Council has also received complaints from people about large amounts of rubbish being left on the beach. Litter wardens patrol the area and will issue fixed penalties to anyone who is caught leaving litter behind.
Sergeant Watkins added: "Swansea beach is a great place to enjoy the summer sunshine and we will not allow the actions of a minority of individuals spoil the area for residents and visitors."
