Cardigan
Cardigan is located at the Southern end of 'Cardigan Bay where the Dolphins play'. Recognised as an internationally important area for marine wildlife, Cardigan Bay was established as the UK's first Marine Heritage Coast. There are regular sightings of the resident population of bottle nose dolphins, as well as porpoise, grey seals and other marine wildlife. Recently there was a rare sighting of Orca (Killer) whales and Rosso's dolphins passing through the bay. Travelling north from Cardigan to Aberystwyth the coastline is dotted with villages, small ports, and harbour towns all with a rich seafaring history. The 'larger' coastal holiday destinations are Aberporth, Llangrannog, New Quay and Aberaeron - with many more small and friendly locations dotted in between. There are numerous coves and beaches, including Mwnt, Aberporth, Tresaith, Penbryn (National Trust), Llangrannog, Cwmtydy, Newquay, and Aberaeron. Newquay and Tresaith have Blue Flag awards; Mwnt and Aberaeron have Green Coast awards; while all beaches mentioned above have qualified for the UK Seaside Award (with the apparent exception of Cwmtydy). Nearing completion in 2003 the 60 mile Ceredigion Coastal Path, crossing Heritage Coastline and National Trust lands, forms an almost complete link between the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and Glyndwrs Way. Renowned for it's Bass and Black Bream, angling opportunities abound in Cardigan Bay for sea and shore fishermen. Backed by rugged cliffs, many of the beaches are reached through delightful steep sided wooded valleys surrounded by farmland. Depending on the beach you choose, there may be a stretch of wonderfully smooth cobbles to cross before you reach the sand, while other beaches consist almost entirely of long sandy stretches. Other features include rock pools, waterfalls and fresh water streams running into the sea - much to the delight of children who are entertained for hours ... summer or winter, rain or shine. Further north at Aberaeron the shale beach with black 'sand' merges with the green fields of a low lying, narrow coastal plain. On a hot and sunny day, lie back to sunbathe on any of these beaches and you are sure to reminisce of distant, foreign lands, and begin to wonder where you are ... the French Riveria, the Algarve, perhaps Santorini, or even Lanzarote. It maybe the effect of the sun, but certainly you'll be inspired by the wonderful landscape around you no matter the weather. Cardigan Town lies on the estuary of the Afon (River) Teifi.

New Quay
New Quay  - 'Ceinewydd', with Its picturesque houses, pubs and restaurants clings to the sides of the hills rising above the blue waters of Cardigan Bay, West Wales. New Quay's narrow streets rise in terraces from its sheltered harbour and safe beaches - the focus of activity in the summer when New Quay becomes a bustling and vibrant holiday resort where sailing, fishing, watersports and relaxation are among the main attractions. Many believe that New Quay is the 'cliff-perched town at the far end of Wales' immortalised by Dylan Thomas in 'Under Milk Wood'. Dylan Thomas lived in New Quay in 1944 in a little house called 'Majoda' atop the cliffs opposite the town. The Dylan Thomas Trail in New Quay takes the visitor to many of the places either frequented by Thomas or believed to be mentioned in 'Under Milk Wood'. There are many clean sandy beaches in New Quay and nearby with interesting Marine Life, a great variety of local accommodation including hotels, guest houses, self catering cottages, caravans and campsites, a fantastic selection of restaurants and pubs, interesting coastal walks, a multitude of Wild Flowers and always the possibility of seeing the famous Cardigan Bay Dolphins from the dock.

Aberaeron
Aberaeron is a thriving town in the heart of Cardigan Bay offering something for everyone. It was one of Wales' very first 'planned' towns, and is situated at the mouth of the River Aeron. Aberaeron's most notable feature is its architecture - one house in every four is listed as being of special architectural or historical interest. The town just invites you to walk around it's lanes and streets.
