Porthcawl Vacation Guide
Porthcawl is a holiday resort in South Wales and is home to one of the largest caravan and camping parks in Europe, Trecco Bay. It has an extensive promenade and several beaches, two of which are Blue Flag beaches: a tourist-oriented beach at Trecco Bay, at the east end of the town; a sandy beach at Rest Bay, which lies to the northwest of the town; and the quiet and sandy Pink Bay leading out towards Sker point where a tarmac-covered car park serves a sandy beach.
There are many hotels and guest houses as well as a funfair called Coney Beach . Four rocky points line the shore: Hutchwns Point, Porthcawl Point (on which a lighthouse is situated), Rhych Point and Newton Point.
Porthcawl, like many UK resorts has suffered a decline in its holiday trade over recent years, especially since most of the South Wales Valleys coal pits have closed. A major feature of the summer used to be the miners fortnight when the miners would take their annual break in large numbers.

Rest Bay in South Wales is always packed on a hot summers day with tourists, kids building sand castles and paddling in the sea. On a cool cloudy day though the coast line is transformed into a dramatic poetic scene.
