New Quay is a delightful, bustling seaside resort on the Ceredigion coast, known for its picturesque harbour, steep limestone cliffs, and beautiful beaches. The town has a rich history as a former flourishing fishing port and ship building centre.
New Quay has several beaches, including Harbour Beach and Traeth Gwyn Beach. Harbour Beach is a small, sandy, and sheltered beach located immediately south of the harbour and pier, offering opportunities for sailing and bathing, with zoning to enhance safety. The beach is usually patrolled by lifeguards from the end of May until the start of September.
Traeth Gwyn Beach stretches around New Quay Bay from the lifeboat station to Llaina Point, offering a wide expanse of sandy beach, especially at low tide. This beach is more accommodating for families, with ample space for beach activities such as sunbathing, picnicking, and playing games. Traeth Gwyn Beach is dog-friendly year-round, allowing pets to enjoy the beach alongside their owners.
The coastal waters and coastal belt of New Quay are designated as the Cardigan Bay Special Area of Conservation and Aberarth Cerreg Wylan Site of Special Scientific Interest, confirming the high conservation status of the area. The bay is home to colonies of seals and bottlenose dolphins, and wildlife watching is an important part of the local economy.
Boats taking visitors to look for wildlife and enjoy the coastal views leave from the harbour, in addition to the many fishing boats, some of which may be chartered for crab hunting and fishing trips. There are plenty of places to eat and drink, as well as some interesting shops and places to stay in the village.
New Quay South Beach is adjacent to the Ceredigion Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
