Dive into an action-packed weekend of beach sports, lifeboat displays and bucketfuls of more fun as BeachFest hits Porthcawl’s shores on Saturday and Sunday 15th – 16th June.

The activities will extend into the evening on Saturday 15th June with beach flags and volleyball tournaments, plus a fire-show finale to ignite an exciting climax to the day’s events, before festivities resume on Sunday 16th June.
Join Beach Academy Wales throughout the weekend for marine wildlife rescue workshops, and cast your eyes out to sea and spot the world’s last seagoing paddle steamer, the Waverley as it approaches to dock in Porthcawl.
The RNLI will be hosting exciting demonstrations, entertainment and fundraising activities with the return of its popular RescueFest event on Sunday 16th June, alongside a variety of music, games, entertainment, displays, demonstrations and market stalls throughout Porthcawl over the weekend.
