Our Local Beaches
Come and visit our stunning coastline for breathtaking walks along the cliff tops, or lazy days on the beach.
Nash Point – Just 3 miles away
Nash Point beach is a rocky beach with stunning views along the coast and the perfect place to watch the sunset!
Not great access down on to the beach, but if your legs are up to it we highly recommend taking a look – especially when the tide is out!
It is home to a beautiful lighthouse and also the lovely Cliff Top Cafe for a coffee and a welsh cake.
Llantwit Major – Just 3.7 miles away
A rocky beach with easy access from the car park and some sandy stretches of beach at low tide.
There is a cafe on the beach front but bring cash as it doesn’t take cards.
A good beach for surfing in the right conditions and rock pooling. Grab a bag of chips (we recommend Farnhams in Boverton) and go watch the sunset here!
Monknash – Just 3.5 miles away
Monknash Beach is approx. 20 mins walk from a car park, through a lovely woodland footpath. A great secluded beach with some sandy parts when the tide is out.
We recommend a stop off in The famous Plough and Harrow pub on the way home for excellent food, cider and ales.
Southerndown (Dunraven Bay) – Just 6.4 miles away
Easy access from the car park with a ramp leading all the way to a big sandy beach when the tide is low.
Little shop selling ice cream and buckets and spades etc.
The Heritage Coast Centre is a good visit for lots of information about the coastline and local area.
This is home to the gardens of the old Dunraven Castle, which are still maintained. It is also a good local surf spot!
Ogmore – Just 6.4 miles away
Ogmore beach is great for a family day out with big sandy stretches when the tide is low.
There is lots to do in this small coastal village, from Horse Riding, sand dunes (in next door Merthyr Mawr), castle ruins and some great places to eat! We recommend the brilliant ‘Cobbles’ cafe/restaurant or grabbing a fantastic coffee in the ‘Welsh Coffee Shop – with the best views!
Barry Island – Just 12.7 miles away
Barry Island (or ‘Barrybados’ as it is known locally) has easy access onto a wide and sandy beach surrounded by newly built beach huts with a long promenade.
It adjoins Barry Island, which is your classic British seaside holiday town with fairground rides, amusements, crazy golf and traditional kiosks along the front
