Monknash Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

The beach at Cwm Nash, also known as Monknash, is a beautiful beach with a dramatic cliff backdrop.

The brook that arrives at the beach from the north spills onto the rock platforms below creating a gushing waterfall which give way to fertile rock pools and, when the tide is out, stunning golden sands.

The Glamorgan Heritage Coast is a place of pure wonder and beauty. It's characterised by plunging cliffs, secluded coves, river estuaries, long sandy beaches, and breathtaking views across the Bristol Channel.

The protected coast spans for 14 miles (22.5 km) between Aberthaw and Porthcawl and visits some fantastic locations along the way, including Nash Point, Dunraven Bay and Ogmore-by-Sea.
