Sker Beach in South Wales, which can only be reached on foot, has been recommended as a peaceful spot free from crowds or garish seaside shops. As the most westerly of Porthcawl's beaches, it is only accessible by walking from Rest Bay.

Accessible only on foot, its tucked-away location means it often has fewer visitors than nearby spots. But is it worth the walk?
