Known by its Welsh name Traeth Mawr (meaning ‘Big Beach’), Newport Sands is regarded by many as the finest beach in the area. This broad and long expanse of sand at the mouth of the River Nevern is a lovely place to visit all year round. With plentiful space, the dune-backed sandy beach is great for swimming, sunbathing and watersports. If you're lucky, you might also spot seals in the area.
