There’s something magical about watching the sun dip into the sea at the end of a summer's day. For families staying at Trenewydd, a sunset isn’t just a beautiful view, it’s a chance to pause, breathe, and make memories together. Whether it’s a sandy-toed scramble down to the beach, or a short stroll up a coastal path, here are some of our favourite sunset spots nearby that never fail to impress.  Poppit Sands – Wide Horizons & Shallow Shores Just a few minutes from Trenewydd, Poppit Sands is a classic for good reason. With its wide-open beach, gentle shallows, and endless sky, there’s plenty of space for children (and dogs) to run around while the sun melts into the horizon. Pack a blanket and a few snacks, and you’ve got an easy, fuss-free family evening out. Mwnt – Clifftop Views & Dolphin Spotting A short drive away, Mwnt offers one of the best vantage points for sunsets in West Wales. Climb the headland above the little white chapel and you’ll be rewarded with sweeping coastal views. Families often spot dolphins playing in the bay below as the sky turns orange and pink—an unforgettable experience for little ones. Aberporth – Ice Cream & Evening Light If your family likes to end the day with a treat, head to Aberporth. Two sheltered sandy beaches are perfect for a paddle, and you can grab an ice cream before finding a spot on the promenade to watch the colours change. It’s a quieter alternative to busier beaches, and the calm waters are especially good for younger children. Penbryn – Woodland Walk to Golden Sands For something a bit different, take the short woodland path down to Penbryn Beach. The walk itself feels like an adventure, and the reward is a golden sandy stretch that faces west—ideal for watching the sunset. With cliffs framing the beach on either side, it feels like your own private theatre for nature’s nightly show. Back at the Cottage – Hot Tub Stargazing Of course, sometimes the best sunset spot is right at Trenewydd. Many of our cottages have private enclosed gardens with hot tubs, making it easy to slip into the warm bubbles just as the sky deepens into twilight. After the sun dips, stick around—our rural location means you’ll often get a stunning star-filled sky as a bonus. A Simple, Memorable Ending to the Day
Whether you choose clifftop views, sandy beaches, or the comfort of your own cottage garden, watching the sunset together is one of those small, timeless joys. It doesn’t take much planning, but it leaves you with the kind of memories that stay long after the holiday is over. |
