In December 1906, the North Wales wooden sailing ketch Sage was caught in a fierce westerly gale while transporting roofing slates. Unable to navigate into Porthcawl Harbour, it ran aground on the rocks by the lookout tower. While its wooden hull broke apart, its slate cargo remains fossilised in the reef.
Walk near to the low tide rocks immediately below the old lookout tower.
