Afan Beach (Port Talbot)
This small, sandy beach sits on the Afon Afan (River Afan) estuary, close to Port Talbot docks and the Tata Steelworks. There is a promenade, with a couple of cafes and restaurants nearby.
A lido used to exist here, which was burnt down in 2009. £13.4 million was spent building a new sports complex with an 8-lane swimming pool.
The beach is used for fishing, and nearby Swansea Bay, with its great tidal range is popular with surfers and other watersport enthusiasts.
