About
Cwmtydu Beach is a dog-friendly, sandy-and-pebbled beach with rock pools in a small, protected cove at the end of a wooded valley. The beach has rocks and caves to explore, and smugglers are believed to have used the cove once.
An old lime kiln, restored by the National Trust, is at the top of the beach by the car park. Before the 20th century, lime enriched the soil in this largely agricultural area and was used in building work. People brought limestone blocks by sea from places like Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire and landed them on the sandy beaches of the Cardigan Bay coast, ready to be burned into a usable material.
Dog Access and Rules
Cwmtydu Beach allows dogs year-round. Keep an eye out, especially in September and October, as Grey Seals with their pups are among the rocks, so keep dogs under close supervision.
