It is mostly known for its beach officially named Dunraven bay , which is a popular tourist destination during the summer months and since 1972 has been designated a Heritage Coast and is part of the Southerndown Coast SSSI . When the tide is out there is an expanse of sand and pools. The cliffs are an obvious example of sedimentary rock . As Southerndown, along with nearby Ogmore by Sea , is a west facing beach and hence on the Atlantic coast , off shore winds from the East generate much good quality surf, helped by the warming effects of the Gulf Stream . There are actually two beaches separated by a Headlands and bays headland . On the headland are the remains of Dunraven Castle . The second beach is only accessible by steep steps and is largely unused. The steps also reach the beach fairly far out from the cliffside, 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 . It has been used in the occasional TV production, including on Doctor Who as Bad ... the summer, Southerndown Lifesaving Club use the beach as opposed to St Donat s Castle. coord ... pages southerndown view.shtml BBC South East Wales Southerndown beach panorama http www.bbc.co.uk wales southeast sites walks pages ogmore.shtml BBC South East Wales Southerndown beach walks http www.stbridesmajor.co.uk St Brides Major Southerndown and Ogmore by sea community website http www.geograph.org.uk search.php?i 2731985 www.geograph.co.uk photos of Southerndown and surrounding area ...
