Traeth Llyfn — Attraction in St. David's and the Cathedral Close

Great beautiful beach! You need to walk 30mins to get there, either from Porthgain or Aberiddi. Aberiddi walk is shorter and parking is normally not a problem but chargeable at £4 a day. Free parking in Porthgain but less likely you will get a space. No facilities at the beach but there is an ice cream van that serves hot / cold drinks and food based in Aberiddi. Porthgain has Bistro and Pub plus Harbour Lights Gallery. The beach can have strong currents so avoid going deep.

We chose this spot because there was strong south westerly winds on the day and this was a little...

I’ve been going to this beach all my life, and it’s one of my favourite places in the world. It’s a half hour-ish walk from Porthgain, so it feels a little off the beaten path, but it’s really accessible (if you can handle the 100+ stairs from the cliff top to the beach). There are no facilities but it’s a great beach. Check the tide times before you go, when it’s high there’s very little room. Low tide leaves a huge expanse of beach for you. There’re a few rock pools, good for kids to look in. It can be quite choppy and has a pretty strong rip current sometimes. Don’t get right up against the bottom of the cliff as bits of...
