Penarth Beach

About Penarth Beach

Penarth's beach is a steep pebble and shingle shore below the Esplanade and the Victorian pier, looking across the Severn Estuary. A family beachcombing blog names Penarth among its recommended stony beaches for finding sea glass, and a collector has pinned the pier area on Sea Glass Map.

White, green and amber glass reported by a Sea Glass Map user near the pier. Some pieces may still be sharp, so check before picking up.

Visiting Penarth Beach

Safety

Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
