Accommodation in Southerndown
Looking for accommodation in Southerndown? This small village southwest of Bridgend near St Brides Major, Llantwit Major and Ogmore-by-Sea is mainly known for its beach (officially named Dunraven bay). The village is a popular tourist destination during the summer months and the beach has been designated a Heritage Coast.
As Southerndown is on the Atlantic coast, off-shore winds from the East create a great deal of good-quality surf, helped by the warming effects of the Gulf Stream.
Visitors will find the remains of Dunraven Castle on the headland which separates the two beaches.
The second beach is only reachable by steep steps and is mostly unused. The steps also reach the beach fairly far out from the cliff side, so it's easy to become cut off from them and stranded on the beach. The second beach is one of the largest in Glamorgan and stretches all the way down the coast to Nash Point near Llantwit Major.
The stunning beach has been used in the occasional TV and film production, including on a few episodes of Doctor Who, an appeared in Merlin in the first season episode and also featured in the Bob Dylan film Hearts of Fire.
