We harbour a lot of love for Porthcawl’s pretty little Marina. There are boat-loads of reasons to spend some time at the picturesque spot. 🌊🛥️

Sitting alongside Porthcawl’s newly developed Cosy Corner, it’s the perfect place to enjoy the sunshine with an ice cream or grab a bite to eat from one of the excellent nearby restaurants and cafes. 🍦☕
