The beaches are what make Trecco Bay a wonderful place to stay. My son says ‘our’ beach has everything. Sand dunes, rock pools, wide sandy space to play, lots of shells and sea glass to collect. Tides vary a lot so we recommend downloading a tides app and checking on times. At high tide there is not much beach and on low tide the water is far out. If we want to climb on the rocks and play in rock pools we go nearer to low tide. If we want to kayak or paddle board we go at around an hour or so after high tide so there is less walk to the water. Just something to keep in mind. To get to the beach turn left out of Pines and take the first left at the roundabout, walk through the gates and the beach is directly ahead. It’s less than a five minute walk. You will be on Newton beach here, it is a dog friendly beach so you will find dogs being walked here. If you prefer somewhere without dogs you can go straight on at the roundabout and head to Trecco Bay at the end of the road and to your right. Dogs are not allowed on the beach there during the summer.

Newton is the most easterly beach at Porthcawl and is a ten-minute walk from the picturesque village of Newton. This beach is sandy and rocky and popular with windsurfers, jet skiers, power boat users and dog walkers. There is a slipway which is used by the local boat club. With miles of sand (although very rocky in parts), you can walk to the river mouth at Ogmore; it is next to Newton Burrows and Merthyr Mawr dunes. It is also right next to Newton’s beautiful dunes.

Another stunning beach located near Porthcawl is Newton Beach. One of my favourites for a dip in the ocean (but wear swim shoes cos of the rocks). A mixed pebble and sand beach depending on how far out the tide is. This beach is a good one for walking as it stretches for miles. Take a back pack and walk from Newton all the way down to the river mouth where you can see Ogmore by sea beach on the opposite shore. During low tide you can actually cross over to Ogmore - By - Sea but be weary of the tidal changes as they happen quickly. At the far end of the beach are the sand dunes - you can follow these all the way to Southern down sand dunes where "Lawrence of Arabia" was filmed back in the day! Lots of exploring, bathing and picnicking can be done on this beautiful Blue Flag beach. There is a car park, but you have to pay. I am not aware of any rules prohibiting dogs on this beach but this may change.
