Aberavon Beach

This beach is lovely. Very very clean, no dogs allowed over the summer on the main beach but there is a big beach to right where they can go. There is a good crazy golf, plenty of food places, ice cream a kids water park and the carpark is £2 per day if you don't find a free spot on the road. Life guards patrolling all the time in the summer. Loads of little hermit crabs being washed up on the beach and then burrowing into the sand. Nice flat smooth promenade for skating or cycling or walking. A couple of restaurants, fish and chips and an ice cream shop make this a 9/10 as beaches go. Would have been 10 but the sand is hard as I guess the tide comes all the way in upto the edge.

Nice to see the bridges from a different perspective. The calmness of the water hides the power the water in this estuary unleashes. The path is paved and even, perfect for people with mobility difficulties.

Our favourite beach! The views are amazing. Visit Franco's chip shop for a kids meal in a bucket! Big park and little one for smaller kids, splash pad, mini golf, lots of parking... It's great!

One of the cleanest beaches I've been to on a while, life guards are spot on and always patrolling.Relaxing to walk the entire beach with or without kids or pets.Surfing classes are really interesting to watch publicly.

Dogs love it here, great place to go. Parking can be a nightmare at times but still well worth a visit. Beats porthcawl and Barry!!
