This is a lovely long stretch of beach that is popular with dog walkers, and occasional kite board surfers. But it is usually fairly deserted at start and end of day. There are two shipwrecks depending on tide (and I strongly advise checking otherwise there will be no beach). From my mark, you can go left for one, and right for the other, and I will post a separate location for the HMV Altmark. The attached image shows my drone looking right from the footpath towards the steel works.There are, as you will have walked through it, a large train yard here. From teh right location you can get good shots of goods wagons, etc..The point I have marked is where the footpath comes out that you get to by leaving the M4 at Junction 38 and taking an immediate left if heading West. Follow that road all the way down to the train tracks and park up. Then cross the lines, and keep going straight. When the road starts to curve you will see a footpath by a fence and then the beach - approx a mile and 20m good walk.The beach is also accessible from Kenfig Nature Reserve (see another of my locations) and runs all the way from Nottage to the old docks at Port Talbot - all told, just short of 7 miles of sand.

The nearest place to park is at Porthgwarra Car Park and it is an approx 15 min walk from there. Extreme care is required on location as there are steep drops on either side of the path at its narrowest section.
Land owner permission requirements unknown.

If you wish to fly here please contact Karen on 01206 330784. Bear in mind the property was closed when I flew but they kindly opened it up for me. When it opens to the public again it will become a lot harder to get permission.Current owners Nick and Sheila Charrington

Parking is either on street or there is a free car park near the yacht club at the entrance to the peninsula. Advise to use Dronscene/NATS to book a flight & to call 101 as there are plenty of NFZ’s around & the odd yokel asking if you’re ‘licensed’’ & ‘do you know what you’re doing’
