Local Area
A short drive from our cottage
Poppit Sands
A large sandy beach at the mouth of the River Teifi, perfect for a long walk and backed by dunes. Close to Cardigan. Lifeguard on duty. You can pick up the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path here, or the Poppit Rocket Bus. This beach has a European blue flag award. A partial dog ban from 1st May – 30th September. Boat by laws apply. There is an RNLI station here, we never get tired of watching them launch their boats for practice on Sunday mornings, using their huge tractor, a boys dream. Many a happy BBQ and numerous games of rounders spent on this beach. The beach shelves gradually with lots of stranded tidal pools to play in.
May-Sept Dogs only on the right side of the beach, but this is a huge area when the tide is out.
Newport Sands
We spend a lot of time on this beach all year round, especially in the evenings when you can sometimes have it to yourself, even in peak Summer. Lifeguard on duty. You can drive onto this beach and come early evening you will often find us enjoying an evening swim (the water feels warmer having been heated all day long…honest) followed by a BBQ and beach games. You can’t beat the soft light of dusk on a beautiful beach.
Dogs welcome all year round.
Mwnt Beach
A Firm favourite of ours, it’s a really picturesque small sandy cove, with steps down the cliff. Parking is above. Dolphin spotting is a popular past time from this beach. The tide washes it clean and flat, great for ball games and sand castles. Beautiful views with great swimming as the beach shelves quickly.
A great takeaway café, serving the delicious homemade welsh cakes, a must during your visit!
No Dogs allowed from May-September
Tresaith Beach
This beach has a small entrance so parking is just before the village with a five-minute walk downhill. Lifeguard on duty. When the tide goes out it reveals a second beach with a waterfall where the Saith river tumbles over the cliff – perfect for a fresh water shower. When the tide is fully in it’s a great place for a spot of mini-coasteering, leaping from the fantastic rocks just offshore, a level suitable for all ages to jump from, even the cautious! Lovely ice-cream shop close by. The Ship Inn overlooking the beach do really good food with a great view.
Dogs Allowed, though part beach restriction May-Sept
Llangrannog beach
Llangrannog beach is a sheltered, sandy bay known as ‘Traeth y Pentref’ – the village beach. It is popular with families and surfers and is a great place to relax and watch for dolphins out at sea. Food is available from the two public houses, the Pentre Arms and The Ship, two cafe/restaurants, Patio Cafe and The Beach Hut and there is a general store, Glynafon. There are other shops, general stores, pubs and restaurants within easy reach of Llangrannog.
