Llangrannog Beach is situated in a sheltered cove and features a fine sandy beach, measuring just over 100 metres in width.

At low tide, the beach is attached to Cilborth Cove, which is located just to the north.

The coastal waters and coastal belt of Llangrannog Beach are designated as the Cardigan Bay Special Area of Conservation and the Aberarth Cerreg Wylan Site of Special Scientific Interest. This confirms the high conservation status of the area, which is home to a variety of flora and fauna.
