About this beach
This is a very popular and well known bathing water in Ceredigion which lies adjacent to another designated bathing water known as New Quay Harbour. This is a small sandy cove to the sea-ward side of the harbour wall. At low tide the beach extends to approximately 120m wide with golden sand exposed. The beach is popular with both residents and tourists alike and is popular for bathing, kayaking and surfing. The beach is accessed from the town by a series of steps. The town of New Quay rises steeply behind the beach. Natural Resources Wales's designated sample point is located to the centre of the beach.
