St. Augustine's is a ward of the coastal town of Penarth in the Vale of Glamorgan, lying close to Cardiff Bay. It is largely residential, notable for a mix of Victorian and Edwardian housing and its proximity to the seafront and green spaces such as Alexandra Park, with the long promenade and attractions like Penarth Pier giving the area a distinct seaside character.
Historically shaped by Penarth's 19th‑century growth as a Victorian resort, the ward today combines local shops, cafés and community groups with the commuter reality of easy rail and road links into Cardiff. That blend of heritage, coastal amenity and strong local engagement makes it a sought‑after part of the town with an active interest in conservation and community events.
