About This Place

The blue lagoon is an old quarry, just north of the beach in Abereiddy Bay, that was abandoned and flooded in 1910, as the rock that separated it from the sea was demolished, allowing the waves to flow in. --> Today the blue lagoon is a popular spot for rock climbers and for clubs which jump from the rocks into this cold, deep, water, with its distinctive deep blue hue. Even for those not wanting to take part it can be fascinating to watch. The lagoon and surrounding coastline are also used by coasteering and kayaking groups. The ruins of former buildings of the quarry, including the row of workmen’s houses still scatter the surrounding area. The area is popular for walkers, with the Pembrokeshire coastal path passing the lagoon, and some stunning cliff-top walks nearby. A large car park can be found behind Abereiddy Bay beach, and the quarry is a short walk to the north. An ice cream van can usually be found next to the car park during the summer months. The beach has public toilets, but due to its remote location, there are no other facilities at the beach itself, although there are places to stay in the hamlets and villages nearby.

💡 Our Take

Nestled along the Pembrokeshire coast, Blue Lagoon beach offers a welcoming stretch of golden sands for dogs and their humans to enjoy year-round. With no restrictions in place, it's ideal for energetic pups who love to romp freely. A gentle slope makes the beach accessible for anxious or older dogs, while the calm waters provide safe swimming conditions for even the most adventurous canines. Although parking is slightly limited, early birds can easily secure a spot. Nearby facilities in St. Davids are convenient for grabbing refreshments. We recommend bringing a picnic, and don't forget plenty of fresh water for your four-legged pals!
