Walk Aberystwyth's North Beach promenade

North Beach is Aberystwyth's main promenade beach, backed by Marine Terrace and framed by Constitution Hill and the pier. A seafront walk is an easy way to get to know the town, with benches and changing sea views along the route. Check current beach guidance before entering the water; the promenade and shore offer different access conditions.

Follow the curve of the shore

Continue around the pier towards the Old College, St Michael's Church and the castle grounds. Together they tell the story of a seaside town that also developed into a centre of learning.

Look up, look out

The pier has long been associated with winter starling roosts, while clear conditions bring far-reaching coastal views. Check current local information before planning swimming, attractions or other organised activities.
