Car parking: There is a small car park above the south section of the beach. Further parking can be found in the village.

I used to spend my summmers in Aberporth at my mungus, (mamgu's) She lived in Rock House overlooking the Beach on one side and Ogof Mali on the other side. I have very happy memories of the place and my late father Peter is buried in the beautiful graveyard overlooking the sea.

I loved the coastal views, rocks and Welsh countryside! Can't believe someone tried to burn the dolphin statue!

My dogs love it here on the beach as there is a large area unrestricted for dogs and it is fairly quiet even in the busiest weeks. Been here the last 2 years and going again 21/07/2007. Cannot wait.
