Monknash beach is rocky with small areas of sand at low tide. It is situated near the village of Wick on the B4265 about 5 miles south of Bridgend, Mid Glamorgan, following the signs for Broughton and Monknash.Unfortunately access is unsuitable for the elderly or the infirm, as there is a long walk to the beach down a stony and sometimes muddy path. In the summer months there is parking in the local farmers field about half a mile from the Plough and Harrow public house.
If you are interested in fossils, you can pick up the odd example of the fossil Gryphea, commonly called the "Devil's Toenail", and also look for Dinosaur footprints in the Liassic rocks.
It is popular with sea anglers, with good catches being reported. Warning. If you do fish around the headland, keep an eye on the tide, as you can get cut off very quickly!!
