Set at the southern end of Cardigan Bay, New Quay is a small
picturesque but popular seaside destination for the whole family.
The village and surrounding area features, expansive safe sandy
beaches, coastal walks and also its family of Bottlenose Dolphins,
that remain here throughout the year. The Ceredigion Coast offers
the opportunity for the nature lover to see the Red Kite glide high
across the cliff tops looking for it's prey, watch the rare species of
sea-life and birds from the lookout post above Birds Rock. Take a
walk along the Ceredigion Coastal Path towards Cwmtydu and take in
the beautiful views out across Cardigan Bay and Ynys Lochtyn.
