Northern Pembrokeshire in the south to Aberdovey in the north.
Newport Newport in Pembrokeshire has a wide expanse of sand divided by the
river as it enters the sea.

the

Dolau Beach, New Quay The small beach to the east of the pier.
New Quay Wide, sandy and well protected from the breeze, New Quay's main beach
has a
blue flag and is very popular in the summer when it becomes quite crowded.
Traethgwyn Beach, New Quay Between New Quay and Cei Bach. The Quay West Holiday Park is above
this beach where we advertise many Holiday Caravans to rent.
Cei Bach, New Quay Cei Bach is very close to 'Ty Gwyn' and a short walk from 'Gwynfor',
'Morina',
' Trem-Y-Mor', and 'Rosemary' Cottages. There are seldom many people at
Cei Bach and dogs are allowed on the beach! The Cei
Bach Country Pub and restaurant is also at Cei Bach.
Clarach Bay Just a couple of miles along the coast north of Aberystwyth, Clarach
Bay is dominated by caravan parks. There is a shop here as well as a
Leisure centre.
Aberdovey
Being north of the Dovey, Aberdovey is technically in North Wales rather
than West Wales. It has a wide sandy beach in the estuary of the river.
