Aberystwyth's beaches and elegant seafront are a focal point for the town with a meandering, mile long promenade linking the north and south beaches, which are separated by the castle headland. The main focus of Aberystwyth seafront is Marine Terrace with its Georgian and Victorian style architecture, hotels, pier and bandstand. The beach, framed by the rocky platforms of the Pier and Bath Rocks, is made of dark sand and pebbles backed by rocks and a stone sea wall.

Cycling

The southern end of the beach, by the 'harbour trap' is a good spot to watch surfers when there is a good groundswell, also keep a look out for dolphins and porpoises.
