Deciduous ancient woodlands run down tiny valleys to the seas edge and birdwatchers and naturalists delight in the abundance of wildlife. The bay, which can only be approached by the general public over a long footpath, is almost private and has launching facilities available by prior arrangement. The small, sandy beach is perfect for swimming or kayaking and you may sometimes be joined by a seal.

The villages of Dinas and Newport with their shops, pubs and restaurants are under 2 miles, a pleasant walk in good weather.The following properties are approximately 150 yards from the beach:Part of a group of six farm buildings including Seahorse Cottage (12050), Hen Ty Llaeth (12750) and Barnacle Cottage (13498).One Level Accommodation - This denotes that a bedroom, bathroom or shower room, whb/wc, living area and kitchen are on one level - guests must check the property access statement on the website or request a copy via email to base their decision on, if this is important to your stay.Care needed with small children and the elderly accessing first floor galleries.
