The picturesque village of Aberporth overlooks two sandy beaches with shops pubs, cafes, restaurants toilets and lifeguards with rock pools are exposed at low tides.

The beaches at Aberporth have been awarded the European Blue Flag status – both beaches are equipped with life buoys, whilst the southern-most beach is normally patrolled by a lifeguard during the summer school holiday period.

Aberporth also offers an ideal base for walkers wishing to explore the Ceredigion Coast Path which stretches southwards to Cardigan and northwards to the beaches of Tresaith, Penbryn, Llangrannog, and New Quay.

Aberporth’s maritime history dates back to the 16th century when it became an active port for cargoes of salt, coal, and limestone – up until the decline of fish stocks around the time of the First World War  Aberporth’s main fishing industry was based on daily catches of herring – however today fishing continues in Aberporth on a smaller scale, with lobster and crab being the catches of choice.

Overlooking the northern beach in Aberporth you will find a beachside shop, café, and pub – also situated on the outskirts of Aberporth is the popular Gardd Y Nos restaurant.

Located to the south of Aberporth on a former RAF base is the technology park, ParcAberporth, which acts as a testing centre for unmanned aerial vehicles.
