Dinas has two main beaches Cwm Yr Eglwys (CYE) and Pwllgwaelod which are linked by a ten minute walk through the valley. This can be combined with a circular walk (Dinas walks) on the coast path around Dinas Head (approximately 1 hour) with spectacular views of Fishguard and Newport bays.
Coast path walk
You can walk from Lower Fishguard to Newport beach via the Dinas beaches of Aber Bach, Pwllgwaelod, around Dinas Head, Cwm Yr Eglwys, Aberfforest, Aber Rhigian and then Newport Parrog. The whole distance is 12.5 miles and takes about 6 hours. A short version is around Dinas Head via Pwllgwaelod and Cwm Yr Eglwys and takes less than one hour.
Lower Fishguard
Start the coast path at Lower Fishguard. Visit the Ship pub and Fishguard boat club. Just off the coast path is the old pirate gun fort.
Past Lower Fishguard are the caves before Needle Rock arch. These are only accessible by kayak.
The arch Needle Rock between Aber Bach and Fishguard is only accessible by kayak.
