It is not the most picturesque beach in Wales, but it is very nice. Firstly it is huge, so it never feels crowded, even when it is and I can't relax when the beach is busy. There's always plenty of space, ideal for setting up volleyball net and play, which we always do. Secondly, only 40 minutes drive from Cardiff/Cearphilly area. Some people may not like the fact that it is open for dog walking and there aren't any toilets or shops just a little ice-cream van but I am not bothered.
Great dog friendly beach all year round from edge of Trecco Bay holiday park to Merthyr Mar. Not the best for swimming, the best sandy bits are by the rocks when the tide is out.
Great place for a stroll with the dog. Not a very big car park and it is cash only. Bit choppy for swimming but there were some wind surfers enjoying the big waves. Shame about the amount of litter all along the beach which spoilt it a bit. Also the tide comes in very quickly so be aware that you could get trapped the wrong side of the rocks if you're not careful.
In my top five beaches in Wales. It never disappoints it has lovely sandy beach, rocky outcrop with rock pools, plenty of space even if it gets busy for family fun, huge area back of East part of a beach has grassed sand dunes, barbecue's jet skiing if your lucky to own one. Most important of all it's always clean no rubbish or sea debre, and it's dog friendly and have never seen discarded dog poo on beach.
A nice beach, it's a little rocky in places so be mindful where your putting your feet, what more is there to say.
Great place to go for a walk with the family. Both the kids and the dog loves the sand dunes. Also there used to be a military camp here up until the 1950's with parts of the old shooting ranges still there, quite easy to find old bullets etc in the sand dunes behind the concrete structure. The only down side is you have to pay to park the car and there is not much roadside parking.
Easy accessible from the car park, Dunes back onto the beach that stretches around the bay, Soft sand and rock pools at low tide, plenty of seclusion to let the dogs run free or the kids paddle. £2 couple of hours £4 the day, Worth every penny sparkling Welsh gem.
This is a lovely beach and it's dog friendly all year. It's great for people who like to go crabbing, build sand castle, sit and relax or even surfing.
Lovely beach, quieter than rest bay and trecco bay. People leave a lot of litter here though which isn’t nice. If you keep walking down the beach it leads to Merthyr mawr beach and reserve. Literally empty by there if you want a quiet area to walk to the dog
Part sand part stone and a narrow stretch of beach with sand dunes on the other side. Great for paddle boarding but too narrow to power kite, although you can walk a 10 minute distance away from the crowd and get a smaller kite up safely, on a less crowded day.
