TresaithA sheltered bay and slipway popular with sailors, is named after the River Saith which spectacularly cascades over the clifftops onto the golden beach overlooked by the welcoming Ship Inn - relax with a drink on the heated sea terrace and spot the dolphins. AberporthThis small village has two fabulous beaches separated by a small rocky outcrop. The more southerly of the two beaches is the most popular for families and for sunbathing while the northern beach is ideal for launching pleasure boats, including sailing boats, kayaks and canoes. Close to the beaches, there is a small seaside cafe, a souvenir shop and a friendly pub for good food and drink. Ceredigion Coast Path 60 miles of delightful coastal path linking towns and villages with spectacular scenery, wildflowers, seabirds and a wealth of wildlife along the way. Walk from Tresaith to neighbouring Aberporth and, at low tide it is possible - with care, (please check an up to date copy of the Ceredigion Tide Tables) - to walk along the foreshore all the way to the golden beaches of Penbryn, to the north. Mwnt (N.T.) Off the beaten track this beautiful cove, surrounded by high cliffs, has a golden sandy beach reached via steep steps. The sea off Mwnt is rich in wildlife, being a regular summer home to dolphins, seals and porpoises. The Church of the Holy Cross (Eglwys y Grog in Welsh), probably dating from the 14th century, sits on a headland above the cove and is an example of a medieval sailor's 'chapel of ease'.
