Suitability: In general it is regarded as a wave sailors' only beach, however, there can be quality
flat days had here in the summer.
Wind & Tide: Rest Bay works best on a NW wind, as it faces directly SW. strong SE winds can also give good conditions. It is worth avoiding the top 2-3 hours of the tidal range as the beach tends to disappear!!
Facilities: The facilities locally are limited to the car park, but the town of Porthcawl is very close.
Kitesurfing.: Possible on those flat water summer days, but you'd have more company at Barry. Excellent for buggying in onshore winds at low tide.
Surfing: Fantastic. You nearly always get some kind of a wave when the tide is incoming. Forget outgoing tides it's always flat.
Location.: Come off the M4 at junction 37 and follow the A4229 until you pick up signs for Nottage. Rest Bay is on the coast road and there is a large car park at the top of the beach.
