If you’re staying at Flambards Hotel and looking to explore some of the best beaches in West Wales, the charming seaside town of New Quay is a must-visit. Located on the Ceredigion coast, just a short drive from the hotel, New Quay offers an unforgettable mix of natural beauty, family-friendly fun, and literary history.
New Quay Bay boasts three unique beaches, each with its own character. Harbour Beach is the most popular—its soft golden sand, sheltered location, and Blue Flag Award make it ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and building sandcastles. Backed by the village’s colourful terraces and protected by a harbour wall, it’s a go-to spot for families and the hub for Cardigan Bay Watersports Centre.
For those travelling with dogs, Dolau Beach—just beyond the harbour wall—offers a quieter stretch of sand and pebbles that’s open to dogs year-round. Meanwhile, walkers and nature lovers can head to Traeth Gwyn, a wilder beach that stretches nearly a mile toward Llanina Point. At low tide, it opens up into a wide sandy bay perfect for seaside strolls. Beyond the point lies Cei Bach Beach, a peaceful, dog-friendly haven ideal for those seeking a bit of solitude.
With smooth beach access, scenic coastal paths, and dolphin sightings a common delight, New Quay is a true jewel of the West Wales coast. After a day by the sea, retreat to Flambards Hotel—your ideal base to unwind and experience the very best of Ceredigion’s coastline.
