Can't believe I haven't written a review for Mwnt yet, but here goes. It's one of the best beaches in West Wales - certainly in Ceredigion. The sand is almost elevated here, and you step down into the water. Pretty quickly, you're submerged, not like other beaches where you have to wade out for miles before you can swim. This is great, as it means you can go for a proper, good swim and still be really close to the shore and the sand, but watch out for babies and kids playing for the same reason. View from the engulfing cliffs are also spectacular. From the far side you can look out and over towards Cardigan island and on with weeks like we've been having recently, which have been super sunny, there's no better place on earth. There's even good dolphin spotting here, and they've been very active this late June. Wonderful little cove, and a hidden gem amongst many dotted around the magnificent Welsh coastline.
A few things to note, there is a steep decent down the steps to get to it, and it's unfortunately not for everyone. There are 142 steps in all to get down to the beach.

Read moreStunning, sandy, beach cove with incredible views. This is a popular beach! The approach is a sloped descent to a small cafe & cliff top area. From here, there are many steps down to the sand & the steps have wide flats in between each step-set. The beach is a sheltered cove & on a hot day it's an ideal location to get some vitamin D, have a swim & enjoy the scenery! Because the beach is so popular & quite spacially limited, it can be difficult to find a private space on the sand, especially in Summer months. For walkers & hikers this is a fabulous place to include on a coastal walk... or even, to start a coastal walk! The car park gets extremely busy in the Summer, especially on pleasant days & it can be difficult to find a parking space. The car park is free for blue badge holders. Non-blue badge holders are to pay £4 to for every 4 hours. Definitely a very beautiful & dramatic piece of...
