Where it is

The circle shows the general area, not the exact start. Use the directions link below to get to the car park itself. Contours and paths shown are OpenTopoMap, drawn from OpenStreetMap data.

The route

Follow the coast path east from Aberporth over the headland to Tresaith, you return by the outward path or along the beach at low tide.

Worth knowing

  • The Afon Saith falls directly onto Tresaith beach, which is unusual and worth timing for.
  • Dolphins are regularly seen from the headland between the two.
  • The coast path here is undulating with steps at both ends.

What you’ll see

Two beaches, the waterfall onto the sand, and dolphins in the bay.

Background

Aberporth was a herring port and later a Ministry of Defence range; the airfield above is still in use for drone testing.
