Coasteering St Davids

Coasteering St Davids is a high-action, high-thrill sport rapidly gaining traction in the UK. It involves components of various other adrenaline-filled activities, such as sea swimming, cliff diving and climbing, cave exploration, and more. Most people commonly refer to coasteering as a new combination of orienteering and mountaineering, with a bigger range of activities.

What are the best St. David’s coasteering locations?

Despite being the UK’s smallest city in terms of population and urban space, St. Davids still has plenty of beautiful locations for tourists and locals alike to enjoy a day of coasteering. Below is a list of some of the spots you can expect to be taken to when coasteering with a registered provider – though, of course, they might have their own route!

St. David’s Peninsula

The peninsula of St. David’s is one of the most popular locations in the city for coasteering. This is because it truly is the epitome of the spirit of coasteering. The sea is expansive and clear, and the cliffs boast impressive stature and height – perfect to get pulses racing as you dive off!

Many coasteering St Davids providers will offer Porth Dafarch as one of their destinations, or as a stop along a preplanned route. So if you go coasteering, prepare to stop at Porth Dafarch because (weather permitting!) it is very likely that you will.

St. Non’s Bay

St. Non’s Bay is a popular coasteering destination for one simple reason: it was the birthplace of coasteering as an activity! With deep waters and stunning ridge cliffs, St. Non’s Bay is a point of visit along the routes for many providers.

It also boasts vivid greenery and a richly diverse ecosystem, for those that are interested in learning about the flora and fauna of Wales.

Whitesands Bay

Whitesands Bay is a great choice for some of the more grounded elements of coasteering such as sea swimming, which is often used as a method of short-term transportation between sites that are close together. Like its name, Whitesands Bay flaunts a coastline of white, clean sand, perfect for greeting you as you come in and out of the water.

Abereiddy Beach

Abereiddy Beach offers visitors one of the most unusual landscapes St. David’s has to offer. With black sand, frequent chances of finding fossils, and thousands of striking pebbles, Abereiddy Beach is a popular destination for many coasteering providers thanks to its calm waters and unique views.

As well as coasteering activities, Abereiddy Beach is also a popular choice for kayakers, paddle boarders, divers, and casual swimmers – plenty to see and do if you love physical hobbies!
