Pwllgwaelod beach

Pwllgwaelod beach

A small cove of dark sand and shingle looking out across the bay to Fishguard.

There are low rocks on both sides to clamber over and numerous rock pools. Very handy for launching small boats and canoes.

You can walk along the ‘valley’ path to Cwm yr Eglwys on the other side of Dinas ‘island’.

If you’re planning to visit, check out the tide times to make sure you’ve plenty of beach to play on and that you don’t get cut off by the incoming tide!
