Overview

Summer Event – 19th July – 10am

This year, our annual event is moving from Cosmeston to the beautiful Whitmore Bay at Barry Island!

Beach Hut 19: I've rented a cozy beach hut for the day, so we'll have a perfect spot to gather, no matter the weather.

Scenic Walk: We'll kick off the day with a leisurely 6-mile walk from Barry Island to Porthkerry. Our route will take us along the old dock to the Knap. With the tide out, we'll stroll along the beach from the Knap to Porthkerry, then back over the cliffs before descending to the Knap again. We'll finish with a loop to Jacksons Bay for stunning views over Whitmore Bay.

Food & Fun: After the walk, you can enjoy your packed lunch or treat yourself to some delicious fish and chips. We'll provide soft drinks and sweet treats to keep everyone refreshed.

Facilities: There are toilets near the hut, and two large car parks within walking distance. Plus, Barry Island train station is nearby for easy access.

Dog-Friendly: Feel free to bring your furry friends along for the walk! Just remember, dogs aren't allowed on the beach at this time of year.
