About

Porthcawl East Central ward covers the historic core and primary seafront of the town. The area includes the working harbour, the promenade stretching from the harbour to Trecco Bay, and the main retail streets of John Street and New Road. Residential properties are a mix of traditional terraced housing and larger Victorian or Edwardian homes, particularly in the streets leading up from the seafront.

The area is defined by its coastal function and amenities. The harbour remains active with fishing and leisure vessels, fronted by the lifeboat station. Coney Beach, a traditional amusement park with a funfair and arcades, is a central feature. The expansive Sandy Bay beaches and the grassy headland of Rest Bay are key recreational spaces, with the coastal path providing access along the limestone cliffs.
