Cwmtydu - all beaches

Wow, what an incredible discovery! The beach is incredibly vast and open, and it even allows dogs on the right side. The parking fee of £5 for a day is definitely worth it, as the experience is priceless. A brief walk down the hill leads you to a stunning white sandy beach that is simply breathtaking. Make sure to stop by Plwmp Tart for some delicious refreshments and cake before you leave.

This beach is flanked by rocky outcrops on either side, with a pristine sandy stretch in the middle. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for a refreshing swim, and don't worry about the occasional small boat - simply use a tow float to stay safe. During our stay, we were lucky enough to spot dolphins frolicking in the waves from this very beach. There's a quaint little cafe on site, although we didn't get a chance to try it out. The only downside is that parking can be a bit of a hassle, as you'll need to leave your car at the top of a hill. However, if you're staying in the area, it's definitely worth the picturesque walk down to this gorgeous beach. Plus, there are free toilets and a shower available for your convenience. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone looking for a peaceful and idyllic seaside experience.

The effort to reach this beach is certainly rewarded with a serene and picturesque setting. The absence of litter and the scarce presence of visitors make it a tranquil oasis. Located directly along the coastal trail, it's an ideal spot to take a refreshing dip in the water. Don't hesitate to make the journey to this hidden gem.

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.

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.

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.
