There are 2 beaches that are close to Top of the Woods and they are both spectacular.
This is Dylan’s favourite beach because you can take dogs on all year round (in the summer it is restricted to the right-hand side of the beach). It has a great little café, wildlife sand dunes, long golden sands and is accessible to all - It’s great family beach !

A gorgeous beach for swimming, enjoying a picnic and dolphin spotting
Mwnt beach is a National Trust beach & a great place to spot bottlenose dolphins, basking sharks & porpoises from the shore line. There is a pretty 14th Century church perched above the beach that would have welcomed sailors and pilgrims on route to St David’s in the south and a lovely headline walk around Foel y Mwnt.
There are dog restrictions in place from the 1st May to September
