Abereiddy Beach is a small, sheltered beach, less than 100 meters wide, composed of sand and shingle. The beach is surrounded by wild coastline and headlands, offering excellent views. The pebbles and extraordinarily dark sand are made of pounded grey slate, which gives the water in the nearby 'Blue Lagoon' a brilliant deep blue colour.
The beach is popular with tourists and residents alike, especially with coasteerers, divers, and surfers. It also provides an ideal location for bathing, kayaking, and fishing. At low tide, rockpools can be found along the beach, offering entertainment for children to explore and discover marine wildlife. The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path passes the beach, making it a popular spot for walkers.
A large car park adjoins the beach, and public toilets are available from Easter to October half-term. The beach is located within Castell Coch Cliffs and Llanfryn Quarries Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Trwyncastell Cliffs and the Blue Lagoon SSSI, with the bathing water itself being contained within Pembrokeshire marine Special Area of Conservation (mSAC). There are no other facilities at the beach itself, but there are places to stay in the nearby hamlets and villages.
The Blue Lagoon, a large disused slate quarry, is located to the north of the beach and is now filled with seawater. The lagoon is a popular spot for clubs to organise jumps from the rocks, and spectators can watch the spectacle. A short walk from the beach, the Blue Lagoon offers stunning views and a unique experience.
Abereiddy Beach is adjacent to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
