Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 19 reviews
Porthcawl RNLI Lifeboat Station is an operational inshore lifeboat station where the volunteer crew provide an on-call 24/7 search and rescue lifeboat service. The station houses both a D Class and an Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat. The station has a gift shop which is open daily and it's possible to view the lifeboats and tractors from the shop (when they're housed within the boathouse). On weekends the main boathouse is often open to the public with volunteer visit guides on hand to answer any questions. The lifeboats are launched on training exercise most Sunday mornings between 10am-12pm. Porthcawl RNLI was Wales' busiest RNLI station in 2018, launching 112 times - assisting 144 people, saving 8 lives. The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea.

Very picturesque little village of Newton which is just outside the main Porthcawl area. 2 pubs, village green, and a pretty, little church! Pretty in Summer, very lovely covered in Winter's snow!
3. St John's House Trust
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 23 reviews
Formerly known as The Hospice, St John's House is the oldest habitable dwelling in the town, c.1511. Described by the Royal Commission as: "A Hearth Passage house, the crenellated beams at The Hospice are the only known domestic examples in Glamorgan; the architectural detail is not only of high quality but increasingly lavish timber detail signals the hierarchy of rooms." The house is open on the second Sunday and last Saturday of each month (except December): 11am - 3pm.
