SUP Explorer – The Best Places to Stand Up Paddle Board
Southerndown beach (Dunraven Bay) is a lovely spot in southern Wales and has the second largest tidal range in the world. I prefer a low incoming tide, onshore breeze, and gentle swell. Lots to explore along the coast in either direction. Steady paddle round to Ogmore for a coffee or make a day of it by going all the way to Porthcawl for an ice cream!
