Explore Aberporth's two sandy beaches

Aberporth has two beaches below the village: Dolwen and Dyffryn, separated by a small headland. They offer different views across the bay and reveal more sand and rockpools as the tide falls. Check the signs for the beach you use, as seasonal dog restrictions and water-safety arrangements can differ between the two.

Walk towards Tresaith

The clifftop route towards Tresaith adds a different perspective. Watch the sea for wildlife, including bottlenose dolphins, while remembering that sightings depend on conditions and chance. Check the current route information for surfaces and accessibility.

A working coastal history

Aberporth's past includes an important herring fishery. Before a beach visit, check local signs for dog restrictions, water safety information and available facilities.
