Mwnt Beach

Reviewed By sarahmI7997WI - Bristol, United Kingdom

National Trust car park at site. Beautiful church. Lovely views from the hill climb, which isn’t actually that bad to climb!!! Quite a few steps down to the beach. If coming in rain, the footpath and steps do flood so wear wellies!!! Small cafe and shop half way down to beach with friendly staff. Beautiful sandy cove. Don’t sit near the back due to erosion. Recommended.

Cwmtydu  Beach

Reviewed By JohnMMonmouth - Monmouth, United Kingdom

Sunday 8th September 2019. Family of 5 (ages 21 to 64). This is a gorgeous little cove. You reach it (assuming you are driving and not doing the coastal walk) via narrow lanes, proceed with caution. There is parking (limited) at the base of the hill you drive down to reach the cove. It's famous for its seals and we did see some in the bay and whilst taking a short stroll up the cliff path to the right as one faces out to sea. We also spied some decent sized jellyfish on our walk! It's a lovely spot and well worth a visit.

Tresaith Beach

Reviewed By Brynos

Nice beach that is dog friendly on one half. Can walk to this beach along the coastal path from Aberporth. Excellent views from the path with some interesting old railway carriages turned into homes /holiday homes along the way. Note there is very limited parking at the beach.

Penbryn Beach

Reviewed By Smithy115 - Maidstone, United Kingdom

There is a National Trust car park at the top which is £5 all day, (unless you are a member) which has a cafe next door, but we didn't visit, but had been told the cakes are amazing. There are 2 ways down to the beach, you can follow the road, which takes approx 5-10 mins, you can take the car down, drop people and bags off and then come back up & park, you can't park at the bottom as its a turning circle. We took the woodland walk, took about 15 mins, there are steep steps up and then you do have to step over tree branches which are across the path. The walk through the woods is pretty and in the shade, then there are more steps down. There are 2 parts to the beach - when the tide is out you can get to the other part, which is beautiful with rocks to explore. Worth a visit. No facilities on the beach so take a picnic.

Aberystwyth North Beach

Reviewed By DQShaw - York, United States

You can go for a nice relaxing stroll along the promenade right up the castle and war memorial. If you walk on the beach then it is best to wear sandals or flipflops. The beach and surrounding area is clean, well maintained and family friendly
