Local Attractions & Activities
Ceredigion offers a wealth of local attractions and activities encompassing the resources at its fingertips. You’ll be hard pushed to find one without breathtaking scenery thrown in. We’ve listed our favourite places to go and things to do, in and around Aberporth, whatever the weather.
Kayaking
Kayak hire is available directly from The Water’s Edge Cafe.
Stand Up Paddleboarding
If you fancy stand up paddleboarding across the bay on a calm day, then you can hire paddleboards directly from FOSUP.
Tresaith Waterfall
Just two miles along the Ceredigion costal path is the neighbouring beach of Tresaith with its spectacular waterfall, fully accessible during low tide. Approximately 20-25 minute walk from 2 Headland Place.
Boat Trips Around Cardigan Bay
There are many excursions and boat trips that run in Cardigan Bay for dolphin and seal watching particularly from Gwbert or New Quay. We recommend Bay To Remember.
Beaches Galore!
We are spoiled for choice here in Aberporth and Cardigan Bay with beaches and stunning coastline. Within walking distance you have Aberporth beach and Tresaith beach. Within a short drive you can access Penbryn, Llangrannog, Mwnt, Poppit Sands and New Quay.
Organised Kayak Tours & Coasteering
If you fancy raising your adrenaline levels with some organised watersports, then coasteering and kayak tours are available locally. Both offer the chance to view the coastline from a completely different perspective, and have huge amounts of fun along the way. Available through Adventure Beyond.
Surf Lessons
If you’re looking to improve your surfing skills, or even stand up for the first time, local surf school ‘Walking on Water’ runs surf lessons from Poppit Sands.
Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park
Offering something for everyone, including farm animals, outdoor play area, a spectacular seal and dolphin spotting coastal walk, cafe, indoor play area and shop. This makes for a great day out for all ages, but is particularly loved by little ones.
Golf
There is plenty of choice when it comes to golf courses in Ceredigion and the surrounding area. We highly recommend Cardigan Golf Club, Newport Sands and Penrhos Park. To avoid disappointment, make sure you book ahead.
Spa
For an afternoon of pampering, The Cliff Hotel is your closest spa.
