Details
Aberporth, a pretty coastal village, shelters two beautiful sandy beaches named Dolwen and Dyffryn.
Low tide comes complete with little rock pools on the sandy beach where children gather for hours of entertainment. Alternatively, the cliff top walks above Aberporth offer extensive views out to sea making it a perfect spot to watch the Bottlenose dolphins that can often be seen close to shore. Orcas and harbour porpoises have been also been spotted whilst Sunfish and basking sharks are offshore visitors in summer. Until the early 20th century, Aberporth was the centre of the bustling herring fishing industry; today there is crab and lobster fishing on a small scale.
Dolwen - Seaside Award beach. Toilets, refreshments, shops, parking.
RNLI Lifeguard service provided May half term 23 May–31 May 2020 and Daily 20 June–6 September 2020. Patrol times 10am-6pm
