Best Beach in Porthcawl

"The tunnels beaches are some of the most unique beaches in Ilfracombe – they are a network of secluded beaches that are connected by Victorian tunnels. These tunnels were carved out in the 1820s to give tourists access to the beach, as before this they had to clamber over the rocks!. The beaches are still open to the public, but you must pay a small fee to enter."

"Steeped in history, Tunnels Beaches makes a fascinating visit for all ages. Hand carved in the 1820's, the four tunnels provide a truly unique experience. Read extensive history information throughout the site – including hilarious guides to Victorian etiquette for boys, girls and for when boating with ladies!"

"A post shared by Nicole (@nicoltomas2250) on Jun 18, 2017 at 1:20am PDT. Hand carved in the 1820’s, Tunnels Beaches is Ilfracombe’s award winning beach. The tunnels are the only way to get to the beautiful area of the coastline."

"Like Saunton Sands, there is a long expanse of sand and sea, with lifeguards, shops and facilities. The beach is backed by the village of Woolacombe, which has additional shops and restaurants."

"Gower Surfing School will teach you how to shred a gnarly set of waves along Caswell Bay and Brandy Cove. Toast to the end of your Welsh adventure at Fairyhill. The 18th-century escape is as magical as it sounds, with 24 sprawling acres of woodland, streams, lakes, and manicured lawns. Snag a seat on the restaurant patio for happy hour and light bites such as avocado, quinoa, crème fraiche, and beetroot or wild mushroom and goat cheese risotto with roasted root veggies."

"rock pooling | rock jumping | shell collecting | epic Sri Lankan curries (Summer only). Barricane Beach near Woolacombe has an amazing Sri Lankan curry shack – a must visit whilst holidaying in North Devon. Barricane beach is a tiny cove with one big fat Summer draw – the Sri Lankan beach shack."

"Broad Sands is not a large and well-known beach, it’s a secret gem that many locals wish to keep to themselves. Broad Sands is a small cove hidden on the coast of Exmoor, and it’s an adventure to get to. It’s not reachable by road, but by parking at the top of the cliff and taking a path and 200 steps down to the sand."

"kids who love exploring | wild swimming | camp fires | difficult to park. Broadsands used to be a secret spot but the secret is well and truly out now!. It’s still possible to get this beach to yourself though & is a great place to kayak to from Watermouth Bay"

"Rockham Bay is a little known beach on the coastal track from Morte Point to Bull Point. Rockham Bay is one of the secret beaches in North Devon, generally only known by locals or campers who stay in the magnificently positioned North Morte Farm campsite slap bang on the coastal fields, only 50m from the beach. Owned by the National Trust, Rockham is a secluded rocky sandy beach, fabulous for rock pooling but sandy enough for kids."

"The starting point for Culture Trip’s action-packed trip to Devon, Ilfracombe Beach sits right next to Ilfracombe Harbour, so you just have to walk past the slipway and onto the sand to access it. Wander past the moored boats, stroll across to Ilfracombe Lifeboat Station or simply find a spot on the sand to eat your obligatory fish and chips. Just watch out for the seagulls."

"adventure for older kids | peace & quiet | wild swimming | beach fires | great to kayak to | naturalist. Wild Pear beach is a totally wild beach accessed by a footpath and then a rope. One of the most secret beaches in North Devon, Wild Pear Beach is completely off the beaten track."

"One of the best vegetarian restaurants in Cardiff city centre, YO!. is home to so much more than just sushi. Make your way through their menu of Japanese bites including meat-free rolls, tofu katsu curry, mushroom ramen and gyoza along with plenty of sides."

"Cardiff St David's is an affordable pit-stop for Japanese dishes. Browse their range of signature sushi, noodle dishes and wholesome curries, alongside an extensive range of meat-free favourites."

"Back in 2018, Sushi Life sprang from what seemed like nowhere to be rated the top restaurant in Cardiff on TripAdvisor. The 1980s-style red-brick building you'll find it in couldn't be further away from the colourful makis, California rolls, ramens, curries and rice dishes you'll find on the plates inside. 'Hell in the Kitchen' rolls come filled with prawn tempura, cucumber and avocado, topped with tuna, Japanese mayonnaise and sriracha sauce, while spicy tuna rolls combine tuna (obviously), avocado, cucumber, sesame seeds, that mayo, chilli powder and chives."

"Whitchurch Road's sharp new bar offers up a wide cocktail menu serving the best spirits alongside a fantastic tapas menu using the finest Spanish produce. The SO crew know how to shake things up in the cocktail department, and we have to admit we LOVE their concoctions. Owner Ieuan Edwards invites you to ‘drink, share, live’ at the SO Bar in Whitchurch Road."

"Boasting rustic interiors with whitewashed walls next to exposed brickwork, wooden panels and low hanging lightbulbs, it's certainly one of the most quirky bars in Cardiff. The kitchen offers everything from Full Welsh (with a veggie alternative), gluten-free pancake stacks and eggs topped with things like spinach, smoked salmon, halloumi and bacon."

"Fiercely independent, priding themselves on simple, honest, modern Welsh food. They seek the best, most mouth-watering ingredients we can find locally from farmers, growers, makers and markets. Book your table here."
