  • This remote little beach is mainly pebbles, although there are a few patches of shingly sand to be found. The beach sits at the end of a deep valley with cliffs extending far out along both sides of the cove.

    Although there is nothing in the way of facilities here Ceibwr is a popular spot for watersports such as scuba diving, kayaking and snorkelling.

    Ceibwr Bay is owned by the National Trust and situated within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. It also lies on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path where the views from the high cliffs are quite spectacular.

    This section of the coast is home to some interesting rock formations with its contorted, folded strata. A little way to the south is the Witches’ Cauldron (Pwll-y-wrach), a collapsed sea cave.

    The area is also rich in wildlife with the cliffs providing a home to various seabirds while the waters here are a good place to spot otters, seals and dolphins.

    Ceibwr Bay Reviews

    The lower beach is treacherous.

    Aug 23rd 2022

    The lower beach comprises boulders covered in very slippery seaweed.  This makes access to the sea there dangerous unless you have exceptional balance and reactions.

    The beach at Ceibwr is NOT owned by the National Trust. It is owned privately down to the high tide mark. The National trust own one side of the inlet and the lime kilns, plus the surrounding coastal strip on one side of the bay only, known as the Moyle.

    The National Trust do not own Ceibwr in its entirety. They own the Moyle a strip of land to the west of the Nant Ceibwr (the stream) The beach to the high tide line from the south and the cliffs to the east are all privately owned. The map on the NT sign at Ceibwr shows the NT ownership in pink.
