The stunning Pembrokeshire beach with a 'Blue Lagoon'

The beach is renowned for its dark sand made of pounded grey slate which creates a deep blue colour in the water comparable to a ‘Blue Lagoon.’

Due to its rocky terrain, Abereiddy Beach is ideal for coasteering, climbing along the cliffs and jumping into the sea.

Plus, visitors should check tide times to avoid getting caught in the incoming tide.

Meanwhile, at the north of the beach, there is a gorgeous little harbour which can be accessed by scooter and wheelchair users.

There are old ruins to explore in the area. (Image: Aaron Clayton) Near the old quarry on the beach, there is also a bank of ruining cottages to discover.

Abereiddy Beach was a winner of the Green Coast Award in 2022, validating its beautiful environmental quality.

Limited parking is available above the beach and alternative parking in the area is scarce.

In terms of facilities, there are toilets available, and a mobile kiosk comes to the car park to sell sandwiches, drinks and ice creams.

More amenities such as cafes, pubs, restaurants and hotels can be found at the National Park Visitor Centre in St Davids which around a 15-minute drive from Abereiddy.
