A ‘blue’ sandy beach with dramatic cliffs, pretty colour-washed cottages and the striking Blue Lagoon - once a slate quarry. This beach-side community, previously the home of quarrymen, now attracts visitors seeking a retreat from the hassles of modern-day life. One of Pembrokeshire’s most beautiful beaches, Traethllyfn, lies just one mile north of Abereiddy and a further half-mile Coastal Path walk will bring you into Porthgain, where you’ll find an excellent local pub and a restaurant.

Children will love the pastime of local children through the ages – the search for Didymographus fossils which can be found in the slatey stones on the beach. The cottages themselves are some of Abereiddy’s best assets as they have been particularly well renovated, furnished with antiques and are well-maintained.
