Abereiddy Bay is a small, sheltered beach, measuring less than 100 meters wide, composed of sand and shingle made up of pounded grey slate. The slate gives the water a brilliant deep blue colour, particularly noticeable in the harbour to the north of the beach, which is a breached quarry. The beach offers excellent views of the surrounding wild coastline, headlands, and Abereiddy Bay.
The beach is a popular spot for swimming due to its sheltered location and clean water. At low tide, rockpools can be found along the beach, providing entertainment for children to explore and discover marine wildlife. Abereiddy Bay is also a favourite among walkers, with the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path passing the beach. A short walk to the north of the beach is the famous Blue Lagoon, a former quarry where clubs organise jumps into the cold and deep water. Visitors can also enjoy sea kayaking and coasteering in the area.
A large car park is located behind the beach, accessible by a short walk across the shingle. During the summer months, an ice cream van can usually be found next to the car park. The beach has public toilets, but due to its remote location, there are no other facilities at the beach itself. However, there are places to stay in the nearby hamlets and villages.
Abereiddy Bay is adjacent to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
