About this beach
This rural small, sandy cove is one of the flagship bathing waters in Ceredigion. The bathing water is extremely popular with both tourists and residents alike. The beach is backed by high cliffs and accessed by a series of steps. There is a small stream which issues onto the beach but it is not thought to have any water quality issues. There is a large car park owned by the National Trust at the top of the cliff and a small caravan site nearby. Natural Resources Wales's designated sample point is located to the centre of the beach.
