New Quay clings to the steep cliffs of Cardigan Bay. It is a place of blue water and white houses. My top tip is to sit on the stone harbour wall. You can watch the wild dolphins jump in the waves for free. It is a prime choice for a low cost day by the sea. The town has deep roots in the prose of Dylan Thomas. You can walk the paths of the Trail to see the spots he loved. The air is fresh and the beach has fine sand. You can watch the small boats bring in the catch. Many trails here are dogs welcome paths. It is a smart spot for a trip. Life here is tied to the tide.
