Name: This beach is quite lovely, with cliffs on one side and a large pier on the other. It's not the best place to spread out a beach towel and relax, though, since the sand is a bit rocky. Dogs are welcome here. There's a rumor going around that on rare occasions, when the tide is high and the weather is cold enough to create frost on the rocks, a massive dolphin that's as big as a car might be spotted. Only a lucky few have witnessed it, however.

New Quay beach

10 Ava Raine

This beach is absolutely breathtaking! The portion of the beach that welcomes dogs year-round is actually larger than the section that restricts them. During peak times, parking can be a bit of a challenge due to the small size of the beach town. Regrettably, I have difficulty with mobility and found the town, beachfront, and nearby beach towns to be less accommodating for those with disabilities. Additionally, there is a significant shortage of public restrooms along the beachfront. However, if you're seeking a peaceful and serene getaway with stunning views, this is the perfect spot. You'll also have the opportunity to embark on boat rides to witness seals, porpoises, and dolphins up close.

Cei Bach beach

10 Seth Harrington.

We were thrilled to stumble upon this hidden treasure of a beach! The stretch of sandy shoreline is absolutely stunning, with a few rocky patches towards the upper end that don't detract from the abundance of sand perfect for building sandcastles. The water is pristine and clear, making it an ideal spot for swimming or paddle boarding. To top it off, this beach is also dog-friendly, which is a huge plus for pet owners. We opted to park near the Llanina woodland parking area due to the crowded car park. A brief stroll through the woods (no more than 5-10 minutes) leads you to the beach. During low tide, you can even take a leisurely walk all the way to New Quay. However, as the tide was coming in, we chose to drive just six minutes down the road to New Quay beach instead.

Aberaeron Beach

This place is absolutely adorable. There is an abundance of beautiful scenery to discover, and the vibrant houses add an extra level of excitement. The harbor offers numerous dining options.

Nanternis beach

10 Samuel Brantley

This beach is a truly enchanting place to relax and soak in the beauty of the ocean. It offers such tranquility. Make sure to double-check the map before your trip, as the only road leading here is quite narrow and has sharp turns.
