A cordon was still in place last night as the investigation on the beachfront continues.
Residents in the area reported hearing “loud bangs” at the time of the incident, according to WalesOnline.
South Wales Police confirmed it was still probing the cause of the fire.
A statement from the force said: “Once the fire was extinguished, emergency personnel discovered a deceased person inside one of the vehicles.
