The sand and shingle cove of Cwm yr Eglwys is enclosed by a high protective stone wall, which was likely built in response to the enormous 1859 storm that washed away most of the village's 12th century chapel. Today, all that remains of the church is the end wall with its bell tower. The beach is situated in a sheltered east-facing location, making it an ideal spot for boating and water sports enthusiasts.
Cwm yr Eglwys is popular with boating and water sports enthusiasts due to the slipway and local boat club. The beach is also a hit with younger visitors who will enjoy exploring the little stream and abundant rockpools. Walkers can take the Dinas Circular walk around the peninsula, which takes just over 3 hours to complete.
Cwm yr Eglwys Beach is adjacent to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
