Visit Jacksons Bay
Jackson’s Bay is a charming sandy cove located on Barry Island on the Glamorgan coast in Wales. Located next to Barry Dock with views of the lighthouse at the end of the harbour wall.
Ideal for those looking for a quieter alternative to Barry main beach. To get on to the beach take the path from Redbrink Crescent leads down to the seafront.
Jackson’s Bay is a lovely spot to relax, enjoy nature, and spend quality time with family or friends. Whether you’re swimming, kayaking, or simply soaking up the sun, it’s a delightful destination on Barry Island!
The Clements Colley Walk passes right along this beach, a scenic coastal path that runs around the headland.
Jackson’s Bay is dog-friendly all year round, allowing you to enjoy the beach with your furry friends without any restrictions.
