Three miles of expansive Atlantic Storm Beach great for walking surfing and windsurfing. Some of the best Sea Angling in the UK of Seabass, Flounder, Smoothhound, Golden Gray Mullet, Whiting and Mackerel. You may spot the odd Basking Shark (harmless to humans)

Beach at Llanmadoc
View North West above Llanmadoc Beach towards Broughton. This is closest beach to our cottages. Dog Friendly all year aroud. Broughton and Llanmadoc Beaches are two ends of one single three mile long Bay (Whitford Bay) and you can walk from one to the other unless the tide is full in. Both are safe to exit to safe/dry land at high tide.
Sea Wall Cheriton
The wall was breached and undermined by as Storm in around 2010 and now the sea floods in at high tides and has reclaimed the glebe at Cwm Ivy turning it into salt marsh under a managed retreat scheme by Environment Wales. You therefore cannot walk across this sea wall to the other end as there is a gap.
Oystercatchers
We have Lapwings Oystercatchers and a host of other sea, coastal and estuary birds at Llanmadoc Beach.
