Discover St.Dogmaels
St. Dogmaels sits on the Teifi Estuary, just one mile from the town of Cardigan. You can pick up the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, which starts or finishes here, with a link north to the Ceredigion Coast Path.
Poppit Sands Beach is located to the west of the village and is a highly sought-after destination for both families and watersports enthusiasts. This scenic spot offers ample parking space, Crwst café and a lifeboat station. The beach is vast, and you can see for miles. It is also dog-friendly in part and is perfect to tire out your pooch. You can grab some lunch or watch the world go by at Teifi Waterside Inn, where the garden is a spectacular spot.
