The shoreline is composed entirely of pebbles, making it less than ideal for swimming. However, the area boasts a picturesque walking trail, and the water quality is simply superb.

The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Tan Y Bwlch beach (Ceredigion) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Tan Y Bwlch beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing.
