About

Porthcawl East is a residential area situated on a low limestone headland overlooking the Bristol Channel. The district is characterised by its mix of post-war housing estates and older properties, with a functional town centre providing local amenities. Its eastern boundary is formed by the Sandy Bay caravan park, a large seasonal settlement that significantly expands the local population during the summer months.

The area's coastline features the expansive, sandy Trecco Bay, which is backed by the aforementioned holiday park. A notable local landmark is the lifeboat station, operational since 1860, which sits near the harbour. The headland also includes the grassy open space of Coney Beach, known for its traditional funfair and proximity to the grand pier structure at the harbour's entrance.
