Coney Beach Pleasure Park

Coney Beach Pleasure Park is an amusement park along Sandy Bay in Porthcawl with rides and arcade games spread across the seafront. The site features various attractions for visitors of all ages at this South Wales coastal location.

The park opened in 1920 after World War I and originally featured a wooden roller coaster called the Figure Eight. It developed into an established entertainment destination that attracted visitors for decades.

The name references New York's famous Coney Island, and the park preserves traditional British seaside entertainment like bumper cars and waltzer rides. These attractions have been part of visitors' leisure experiences for generations.

The park operates from February through November with daily access during peak season for visitors. Wristband packages allow unlimited rides on attractions during your stay.

The Water Chute operated from 1932 to 1995 as a distinctive landmark that shaped how people saw the park from outside. This ride was a notable technical achievement for its era.
