Newport Sands (Traeth Mawr) · 1.5 miles from Nevern (Nanhyfer)
The north's golden mile across the Nevern estuary — big sky, big sand, dogs welcome on the main sweep all year.
Beaches near Nevern (Nanhyfer)

Each of them, briefly
Newport Parrog · 2.0 miles from Nevern (Nanhyfer)
Newport's town-side shore — old shipping quays, estuary sand at low tide, and the best sunset bench in town.
Aberfforest · 4 miles from Nevern (Nanhyfer)
A wooded, stream-fed cove between Newport and Cwm-yr-Eglwys that most visitors walk straight past.
Cwm-yr-Eglwys · 4 miles from Nevern (Nanhyfer)
A tiny sheltered cove with the ruined bell tower of a storm-wrecked church standing on the beach — the most photographed spot on this coast.
Ceibwr Bay · 5 miles from Nevern (Nanhyfer)
Not a sandy beach at all — a rocky inlet below Moylegrove with folded cliffs, seals, and the Witches' Cauldron a walk away.
