Aberaeron is a lovely little town on the Welsh coast with lots of colourful houses and other buildings. There ais plenty of parking near the beach and town BUT BEWARE the machines might only give instructions in Welsh and we recently got stung paying for a weeks parking instead of 2hours machine fault. Complained to the local council but they refused to refund the difference. Advice drive on and go elsewhere.

The beach has a peaceful car park right by the waterfront, which is reasonably priced but only accepts card payments. There is also a small cafe nearby that only accepts cash, so it's convenient to have both forms of payment with you if you want to use both. Not far from the car park, there is a free toilet available. Additionally, there is a shelter where you can sit and enjoy watching the waves, as well as a bench in front of an information board that provides some interesting facts about the area. The harbor is conveniently located just around the corner, offering a few shops and other attractions to explore on foot.

The beach area is small and covered in pebbles. During low tide, there are numerous rock pools to discover and explore. One can also enjoy crab fishing near the harbor wall.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Aberaeron Beach (Ceredigion) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. 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 Aberaeron 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 Aberaeron Beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
