It has been an all-change for Coney Beach recently, with the local funfair set to close for good. And now steps are being taken to install some brand new sea defences as part of a £6.4m scheme to upgrade sea defences in Porthcawl.
Some of them are going to be delivered on some of the land in the waterfront area of Coney Beach. According to Bridgend County Borough Council, small parts of the beach will be used as it is classed as open space.
Work has already been completed on the breakwater and the eastern promenade in Porthcawl, and the next phase will seek to introduce new stepped revetments along the front at Coney Beach. A council spokesperson told WalesOnline that "these will be not as steep as the revetments in use at Town Beach, and will be easier to circumnavigate."
