This afternoon, Jesus visited the beach to witness the breathtaking sunset. However, it was unfortunate to see people leaving litter behind.

The beach is stunning, and despite its proximity to the industrial and sewage plants, there are no unpleasant smells or sights associated with them. It truly lives up to the phrase diamond in the rough. It's a popular spot for surfers and dog owners, with designated dog beaches at either end of the main beach during the summer season. On a good day, the main beach is bustling with surfers catching some massive waves. I can attest to this, as I live nearby and visit almost daily to walk my dog. While Port Talbot may not be the most desirable location, the area is improving with ongoing developments.

This beach is absolutely charming and welcomes dogs. It's conveniently located right next to the water, and during low tide, you can stroll between the two beaches. The cleanliness is impressive, and there's even a concrete area to sit if you prefer not to be in the sand. Additionally, there are many shells to be found.
