Sker Point, with the inlet of Pwll Dafan

Sker Point is a headland on the Glamorgan coast between Port Talbot and Porthcawl. It marks the south end of Kenfig Sands.

On April 23, 1947 the Samtampa, a liberty ship, was wrecked at Sker Point. Her crew of 39 perished and all eight volunteer crewmen of the Mumbles RNLI lifeboat were lost while attempting to rescue them. There is a memorial plaque set into the rocks of Sker Point.
