New Quay

New Quay beach and harbour

During the summer months, the seaside resort of New Quay - with its pretty harbour and beautiful beaches - attracts thousands of visitors. The poet Dylan Thomas found inspiration here back in the 1940s, and it's also popular with Cardigan Bay's population of bottlenose dolphins who can often be seen leaping in the waters beyond the harbour wall. In the winter, the population of Cei Newydd (the town's Welsh name) dwindles to around 1,115 but even so, there's still plenty going on.
