This stunning shingle beach lies south west of New Quay and is a good place to spot Dolphins and Seals if you’re lucky. At low tide a patch of sand is revealed. If the weather is calm, it is probably the best time and place to find seals resting. Seals avoid beaches when the weather is turbulent due to the risk of being bashed against rocks, so pick your day well and you can even bring your dog along, as it’s dog friendly all year.
