This small museum is oin an old Police Station, the volunteers are keen to chat and explain some of the exhibits. It only cost a couple of quid to get in and will take about an hour to see all there is. Quite quirky in a good way

Rest Bay has been transformed with the new Activity Centre where you can hire Bikes, boards, wetsuits and have lessons on how to use them. An outside Costa (and toilets) or upstairs for quality food or just coffee and cakes. The Sandy flat beach has always been a favourite for surfers and children, with rock pools, clean sand and lifeguards on duty. A wonderful place for all ages.

Lovely cafe with very friendly staff and very nice food. Clean and well run and a great sea view. They have lots of events including music by an excellent local musician, Ed Rees on a Sunday afternoon. I would recommend a visit.

Reviewed By Valleyschick1 - Rhondda Cynon Taf, United Kingdom
We arrived at Porthcawl early armed with our sun cream, wind breaks, umbrella, hand sanitiser and facemasks. Due to the virus we chose our spot carefully staying away from the steps and shoreline. We huddled by the rocks until hunger set in. We decided to eat at the HiTtide Inn because they had good reviews on TripAdvisor. The beach looked busy (not the usual busy) so we decided to ring ahead to book a table especially as it was a Monday (the governments eat out to help out scheme was on). We were allocated a time and made our way to the restaurant. We received a warm welcome from the staff. There was hand sanitiser everywhere and the staff were well organised. We ordered pie and chips which was really nice and seemed home made The prices were very reasonable and we would definitely come back in the future. The outside tables over looked the sea (beautiful setting).
