About Porthcawl - Sker Beach and Pink Bay

Pink Bay is something of a hidden Porthcawl gem; very popular with local walkers, wildlife enthusiasts and surfers. It has a steep pebble bank leading down to the golden sands. The rocks at the top of the beach have a unique pink marbling effect in a certain light, hence the name Pink Bay. This beach is accessible via a 15 minute walk from Rest Bay along a boardwalk adjacent to the Royal Porthcawl Golf Club; it is a rural beach and as such has no toilets or other amenities. A monument to the crew of the Mumbles Lifeboat and the SS Samtampa – a 7,000 ton wrecked steamship - is visible at low tide on nearby Sker point.
