Pwllgwaelod Beach is a charming and secluded destination on the North Pembrokeshire Coast, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and scenic views.
Pwllgwaelod Beach is a small sandy beach encircled by cliffs, providing a picturesque outlook towards Fishguard Harbour. The cliffs offer some protection from the wind, and at low tide, a good stretch of sand is available. The beach serves as one of the starting points for a three-mile trek along the Pembrokeshire National Park Coastal Footpath, which follows the coast around to Dinas Head.
The coastal walk takes you up a steep cliff rising to 465 feet, passing an array of pretty flora and fauna along the way. From this vantage point, you can take in the views over Fishguard Bay from a different perspective. The area is also renowned for its diverse birdlife, with species such as chough, fulmar, and peregrine falcon commonly spotted.
The beach is located on the south-west side of Dinas Island, looking out over Fishguard Bay. Although slightly off the beaten track, it is a great spot for a day out, with a nearby pub for refreshments, a public car park, and toilets available.
Pwllgwaelod Beach is adjacent to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
