Beaches
New Quay bay has three very different, beautiful and popular beaches. Harbour Beach is New Quay's main beach, tucked below the sloping terraces of the village and sheltered from the prevailing weather by the harbour wall. A designated Blue Flag beach, with clean, clear water, a designated safe swimming area and soft, fine sand, Harbour beach is a firm favourite with families. Walk along Traeth Gwyn at low tide and you'll be following in the footsteps of Dylan Thomas.

Dolphin Spotting
With Britain’s largest population of resident bottle-nosed dolphins, Cardigan Bay is widely regarded as one of the very best places to spot them in the wild.
During the summer months, those armed with binoculars will likely be able to see them from the shore, however for almost-guaranteed sightings, jump on a boat trip from New Quay.
