Cwmtydu, once a smugglers cove and nestled into the
coastline 4 miles south of New Quay and part of the
Ceredigion Heritage Coast. There are two ways at
getting to Cwmtydu, by car or the healthy way ...walking.
The beach is of stone and sand with rocks either side,
you can swim in this area but only with caution.

Atlantic Grey Seals can sometimes be seen with their pups in amongst the rocks
from August on, these should not be approached at any time.
A small cafe is open in season where you can purchase drinks,
hot, cold snacks and take-a-ways. Two car parks are available on the
sea front free and another on the approach road two hundred yards
before reaching the beach opposite the small and very popular
Bed & Breakfast Melyn-y-Gor
, this car park has public toilets.
Another way to view Cwmtydu is by pleasure boat trips from
New Quay, the boats make regular trips each day.

Leave New Quay on the A486 towards Cross Inn, when you come to the public house at Cross Inn, about two miles you come to cross roads.
Go straight across for one mile, you to come a junction with the
The Crown PH opposite you, drive passed the Crown,100 hundred
yards pass the pub turn right down to Cwntydu (two half miles)...
drive slow as this road is very narrow in places.

You can take the Heritage Coastal Path to Cwmtydu but care must be taken,
some parts of this path can be a bit hairy. You can obtain a full detailed map
of this pathway from the tourist information centre in New Quay.
Open Easter to late September only.
