Abereiddi or Aber EiddiAbereiddi beach is famous for its black sand full of tiny fossils. Abereiddi nestles in a sheltered bay. It's one of Pembrokeshires pebble backed storm beaches. All the pebble banks, like the one at Newgale, were created by a huge storm in 1859. Nearby is the Blue Lagoon, a flooded slate quarry regarded as an important geological feature. Abereiddi is on the northern coast of St Davids Peninsula, about 5 miles away from St Davids itself. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path passes the beach. The walk from Aberieddi to Porthgain is one of the best stretches along the entire coast path. Picture: Abereiddi BeachThe Blue Lagoon at Abereiddi is reached via a pathway past ruined quarry buildings and slate workers cottages. The path is good enough for wheelchairs and pushchairs. The Blue Lagoon is also a magnet for those involved in coasteering, whilst the beach is perfect for other activities such as fishing and kayaking and seal watching in the autumn.A sand and shingle bay in an outstanding coastal setting famous for its Blue Lagoon, a flooded slate quarry that is regarded as an important geological feature.

The supporting structure may be removed in the future to allow the beach to return to its natural state. Much of the land around Aber Eiddi belongs to The National Trust.Picture: Cottages at AbereiddiPicture: Abereiddi in winterThere are plenty of small camp sites and caravan sites nearby.

The green coast award is similar to a Blue Flag Award but for rural beaches. Blue flag status requires a extensive facilities such as lifeguards, dog controls and refreshment facilities as well as the highest level of water quality. Green Coast beaches like Abereiddi have the same level of water quality but because of their rural location, don't have many of the facilities on the shore. The beaches are just as good but they aren't spoilt by unsightly development.
