Discover Carreg Bica at Llangrannog

Llangrannog's village beach is separated from neighbouring Cilborth by Carreg Bica, the sea stack linked in folklore with a giant's tooth. The rock is a real coastal landmark; the giant is part of the story. Explore the village and clifftop paths as well as the beach, planning any shore crossing around the tide.

Discover the next cove

Cilborth lies immediately north of the village beach. Shore access depends on the tide, while steps connect it with the cliff path. Plan a return route before exploring and check conditions locally.

Take in the coast

The coast path continues towards the headland at Ynys Lochtyn, with expansive sea views. Llangrannog's maritime history, literary connections and nearby youth-centre heritage add further reasons to spend time in the area.
