Cilborth Beach is a secluded sandy beach situated in a hidden cove to the north of Llangrannog in Wales.

Cilborth Beach is located to the north of Llangrannog Beach and can be accessed by walking along the beach at low tide or by taking the coastal path. The beach is also accessible via a steep flight of steps cut into the cliff side.

The beach is covered in soft sand and lies in a picturesque cove. It is identifiable by a dramatic tooth-shaped rock, known as Carreg Bica, which is steeped in local legend. According to folklore, this rock was once a giant's tooth that was ripped out and calcified over the ages.

The area around Carreg Bica has some fine rock pools which are teeming with marine life. The beach also features a number of small caves in the undulating rock formations that line the sea. Just offshore from Cilborth Beach is Ynys Lochtyn, a dainty peninsula that is home to a number of resident seals.

There are parking facilities available near the beach, as well as a pub and takeaway for visitors to enjoy. Llangrannog Beach, which is located nearby, has lifeguards on duty during the holiday season and offers a range of amenities, including surfing equipment and fishing boats.

Cilborth Beach is divided from Llangrannog Beach by the distinctive rock formation known as Carreg Bica. At low tide, it is possible to walk from Llangrannog Beach to Cilborth Beach.

Cilborth Beach is adjacent to the Ceredigion Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
