The Beaches of Cardigan Bay - from
Newport in the south to Aberdovey in the north
|
|
|
|
Newport
Newport in Pembrokeshire has a wide expanse of sand divided by the
river as it enters the sea.
|
|
|
|
Poppit Sands
is on the banks of the wide estuary leading in to Cardigan
|
|
|
|
Mwnt
Mwnt is a National Trust beach just north of Cardigan. There is a large pay and display car park above the beach and a shop and toilets partway down
the
path leading to the beach.

There
are 2 entirely separate beaches at Aberporth with 2 pay car parks between the 2 beaches.

Tresaith
An excellent beach for water sports - wide and sandy,
but limited parking.
|
|
|
|
Penbryn
This National Trust beach is between Llangrannog and
Tresaith. There is a large NT car park(£1.50) half a mile from the beach.
The beach is much larger than it appears in this photo.

Llangrannog
There
is a free car park above the village, and a pay car park right
above the beach.

Cwmtydu
There is limited free parking near the
beach and parking further back along the Llwyndafydd road. Atlantic Grey
Seals can often be seen with their pups here in September.
|
|
|

Seal Bay
Accessible by coastal path from Cwmtydu or by footpath from Nanternis.
|

Dolau Beach, New Quay
The small beach to the east of the pier.
|
|
|
|
New Quay
Wide, sandy and well protected from the breeze, New Quay's main beach
has a
blue flag and is very popular in the summer when it becomes quite crowded.
|
|
|
|
Traethgwyn Beach
Between New Quay and Cei Bach. The Quay West Holiday Park is above
this beach.
|
|
|
|
Cei Bach
Cei Bach is about a mile from New Quay - there are seldom many people there! The Cei
Bach Touring and Tenting site is close to Cei Bach.
|
|
|
|
Clarach Bay
Just a couple of miles along the coast north of Aberystwyth, Clarach
Bay is dominated by caravan parks. There is a shop here as well as a
Leisure centre.
|
|
|
|
Borth
North of Clarach, Borth is a long sandy beach stretching towards
the Dyfi (Dovey) estuary.
|
|
|
Aberdovey
Being north of the Dovey, Aberdovey is technically in North Wales rather
than West Wales. It has a wide sandy beach in the estuary of the river.
