\n Abermawr Beach is this week\u2019s featured ‘beach of the week’ for its untouched and peaceful charm, about 3.5 miles north-east of Mathry.\n<\/p>\n
\n Abermawr is a great place to get away from the crowds and a wonderful spot for wildlife watching. A commonly used bay by seals and a great spot to see peregrines patrolling the cliffs.\n<\/p>\n
\n Visitors are greeted by a striking bank of rounded pebbles, behind which the tide reveals a stretch of sand.\n<\/p>\n
\n At very low tides, the stumps of a long-lost prehistoric forest can sometimes be seen emerging from the sand.\n<\/p>\n
\n The beach is part of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail, making it an ideal destination for walkers, with breathtaking views in both directions along the clifftops.\n<\/p>\n
\n A moderately steep grassy path leads down to the bay, and care is advised as the route can be slippery, especially in wet weather. It is eroding in places.\n<\/p>\n
\n There are no facilities at the beach.\n<\/p>\n
\n The nearest public toilets are in Abercastle, and visitors are advised to check opening times via the Pembrokeshire County Council website before setting out.\n<\/p>\n
\n Just under half a mile away, Melin Tregwynt Woollen Mill offers a caf\u00e9 for refreshments, and the nearby village of Mathry\u2014about 3.5 miles from the beach\u2014has a caf\u00e9 and a pub that serves food.\n<\/p>\n
\n Abermawr is dog-friendly all year round.\n<\/p>\n
\n There are no bins at the site, and visitors are asked to take all litter and dog waste home with them.\n<\/p>\n
\n There are no litter or dog bins provided, please help keep Abermawr beautiful and take your litter home with you.\n<\/p>\n
\n Reaching the beach by bike is easy, with the Celtic Trail passing within half a mile.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Strumble Shuttle Coastal Bus also stops less than a mile away at Melin Tregwynt Woollen Mill.\n<\/p>\n
\n For those arriving by car, Abermawr is signposted from the A487 St Davids to Fishguard road, approximately 3.5 miles north-east of Mathry.\n<\/p>\n
\n Parking is extremely limited and is only available on a roadside verge above the beach.\n<\/p>\n
\n Visitors should be aware there are no lifeguards at Abermawr.\n<\/p>\n
\n Pembrokeshire County Council\u2019s Bathing Water Byelaws and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority byelaws apply to the foreshore and surrounding waters.\n<\/p>\n
\n Bathers are advised to be cautious, as unexpected currents can occur.\n<\/p>\n
\n Never swim alone. If you get in trouble, stick your hand in the air and shout for help. If you see someone in difficulty, never attempt a rescue, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.\n<\/p>\n
\n The area holds historical significance; the nearby Cable Hut, now a private dwelling, originally housed one end of the first undersea telegraph line between Britain and America, laid in 1873.\n<\/p>\n
