Nash Point (Beach)
Nash Point is a headland and beach in the Monknash Coast of the Vale of Glamorgan in south Wales, about a mile from Marcross.
It is a popular location for ramblers and hiking along the cliffs to Llantwit Major beach.
In 1962, the empty tanker BP Driver (formerly the BP Explorer, which had been rebuilt following a disaster in the River Severn) was pushed on the rocks and was abandoned by its crew of five, all of whom survived.
Despite the assistance given by Nash Point lighthouse, the ship's captain was unable to bring her in safely to land.
At low tide, remains of the wreck can be found about 200m north of the beach access by the light house.
