Poppit Sands Beach

The delightfully named Poppit Sands is as charming a beach as its name suggests. With its clean shallow sand and extensive dunes it is the ideal location to enjoy the Pembrokeshire Coast . Popular with walkers, the Pembrokeshire Coast path begins here with its spectacular coastal scenery and wealth of fascinating landscape and wildlife. The challenging waves make sailing and surfing a key feature of the beach and although there can be strong currents, bathing between the lifeguards flags if safe. The unspoilt coastline is a haven for exciting sea life such as seals and porpoise and for the fortunate there is always the chance of spotting a bottle-nosed dolphin gliding through the waves.

Access: From Cardigan take the road to St Dogmaels and follow signs to the beach.
