Kenfig Burrows is a national nature reserve sculpted by wild storms and huge tides between the 13th and 15th centuries which were responsible for creating the Kenfig dunes by throwing vast quantities of sand up all over the Glamorgan coast.

Kenfig Pool, covering an area of 70 acres is the second largest freshwater lake in south Wales (after Llangorse Lake). It is the heart of the nature reserve and is a valuable stopping point for migrating birds. The lake's maximum depth is about 12 feet - although legend has it that the lake is bottomless and fed by seven springs. There are 2 bird hides, one on the South and one on the North shore.

Rest Bay is a sandy beach on the outskirts of Porthcawl, backed by The Royal Porthcawl Golf Club. The beach receives a decent amount of swell, making it a good beach for surfing, as well as wind/kite surfing. Rest Bay has a café, and the town can be reached from here along a cycle path.

Lovely little beach with freshwater, seen lots of families swimming here in summer
