Overview

This walk starts in Newton on the eastern side of Porthcawl and then heads out along the lanes and fields above Porthcawl before cutting down to the coast path at Sker Rocks where we will follow the coast path back to our starting point.  The walk takes in Sker House, Rest Bay, Porthcawl Lighthouse and Marina, Coney Beach and Trecco Bay.  If the weather is good we may stop on the beach for a swim and / or an ice cream in Coney Beach.
