St. Dogmaels Slipway Beach is situated next to St Dogmaels village, on the banks of the River Teifi. The beach, which is a mix of sand and pebbles, looks out onto the river rather than the sea, but is a pleasant spot to stop for a picnic before setting out on one of the area's popular coastal walks. Swimming here is dangerous because of the presence of strong river currents. A number of small fishing boats are moored here, and seals, porpoises, and even bottle-nosed dolphins are frequently spotted along the nearby stretch of coast.
In contrast, Poppit Sands Beach, located on the southern bank of the River Teifi estuary, is a wide sandy beach with great views of Cardigan Island. The beach is backed by dunes full of wildlife and is a great base to explore the surrounding area. Poppit Beach is actually the start of the 186-mile long Pembrokeshire Coast Path, which also begins in St Dogmaels village. While swimming is possible at Poppit Sands, it is advised to exercise caution due to strong currents in the channel, although lifeguards are on duty here during the summer holidays.
Poppit Sands beach is popular for watersports, including windsurfing, kayaking, and surfing. Access to the beach is easy, with paid parking available right behind the Lifeboat station. St Dogmaels village, where the Pembrokeshire Coast Path starts, houses the remains of a 12th-century abbey, as well as having a pub, minimarket, and fish and chip shop.
St. Dogmaels Slipway Beach is adjacent to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and the Wales Coast Path.
