The Pembrokeshire Coast Path starts — or finishes — at Poppit Sands, a wide dune-backed beach at the mouth of the Teifi near St Dogmaels. The sand shelves gently, there’s lifeguard cover in summer and a car park behind the dunes, and the estuary side draws birdwatchers. From here the long-distance trail heads south along the cliffs towards Ceibwr Bay.
