About This Place

Limpert Bay lies to the west of Cardiff Airport, and is overlooked by the Aberthaw Power Station, from which two large cooling water outlets enter the sea. --> The wide bay has a shingle and rock beach and at low tide an expanse of wet sand and mud is exposed. From the beach here there are views over the Bristol Channel towards Minehead and Exmoor. The beach is also considered to be a good spot for fishing. To access the beach, turn off the B4205 towards Gileston, and from this small settlement take the road south. This road ends in a car park. There are no facilities at the beach, but a historic pub, thought to have been built in 1380 can be found in East Aberthaw.

💡 Our Take

Limpert Bay in Aberthaw, Vale of Glamorgan, is a hidden gem for dog lovers. Dogs are welcomed year-round, making it perfect for spontaneous adventures. The beach boasts a mix of soft sands and pebbles, ideal for playtime. There’s convenient parking nearby, but note limited facilities, so pack essentials. The expansive space is fantastic for energetic big dogs to roam, while the gentle waves make it safe for pups to paddle. Caution: the tide can come in swiftly, so keep an eye on the water. Ideal for adventurous dogs who relish a beach romp; Limpert Bay is thoroughly dog-approved!
