Sandy Bay Slipway

Bridgend, Wales

A slipway onto Sandy Bay, known locally as Coney Beach, on the Porthcawl seafront between the harbour and Trecco Bay. The beach fronts the town's amusement park and promenade and carries a lifeguard flag service from May to September, though it does not hold Blue Flag status.

Porthcawl Harbour Slipway

Bridgend, Wales

A public trailer slipway inside Porthcawl Harbour on the Esplanade, next to the RNLI lifeboat station. Bridgend County Borough Council operates the slipway for a per-launch or annual fee and requires proof of indemnity insurance before use, and craft access follows the tide gate's window either side of high water. The Bristol Channel here has one of the world's largest tidal ranges, with a mean spring tide at Porthcawl of around 9.9 metres.
