Choose a beach on the Ceredigion coast

Choose between town beaches close to a promenade, village coves beneath cliffs, and more secluded sands reached on foot. Ceredigion's coast changes considerably between bays, so compare access, terrain and the kind of day you want. Beach rules and water conditions are specific to each location; check the individual guide before travelling.

Check before you go

Consult current tide information and beach signs, particularly before exploring beyond the main bay. Dog restrictions, facilities and lifeguard arrangements can vary by beach and season, so confirm them from current local information rather than older listings.
