The beach is at Lavernock Point, just south of Penarth, and holds immense historical value. In May 1897 Marconi tried to transmit a signal over open water to the island of Flat Holm. When the clifftop equipment failed to give an intelligible signal, he carried the apparatus down onto the beach, added more wire to lower the frequency, and made the first open-sea wireless communication in the world.
The way down is from the cliff path at the point. The shore is rock and cobble. The tide has a long range and a strong run past the point, so do not set up on the cliff edge.
