If the tide is in, you can always walk the Ceredigion Coastal Path which begins at a fairly steep set of stairs by the Patio Caf&#8221;.

Lower Llangrannog or Beach Village, was originally a small commercial port but is now given over entirely to tourism, the result of having a small, very sheltered pebble and golden sand beach. The village has two pubs, two restaurants and a general store.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a car park, but there is a charge in the summer months for using this. It has also to be said that finding a parking space is almost impossible at the height of the tourist season. There is access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcsuk.org\/beach\/cilborth\" rel=\"noopener\">Cilborth Bay<\/a> (the second of Llangrannog&#8217;s bays) from the coastal path or by walking from Llangrannog&#8217;s main bay, past Carreg Bica.<\/p>\n<p>Carreg Bica (Bica&#8217;s Rock) is a landmark rock, separating the main beach from Cilborth Bay. Legends say it is the tooth of the giant Bica, who lived in the local area and spat it out after a bad toothache! Love a good opportunity to get on the waves? Surfers have now discovered that Cilborth Bay is better than Llangrannog&#8217;s main beach &#8211; although we&#8217;ll let you decide for yourself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twelve columns article-map\">\n<h3>What else can you see and do in the local area?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p>There is a variety of tourist attractions and activities near Llangrannog.<\/p>\n<p>There is a nine-hole par 31 golf course (Cwmrhydneuadd Golf Club), an absolutely <a href=\"http:\/\/www.internalfire.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">unique museum<\/a> devoted to internal combustion and steam engines, and the only ski slope in Ceredigion &amp; Pembrokeshire.<\/p>\n<p>New Quay is the nearest town with a range of shops, not just souvenir and amusement arcades, but clothing, guitar, pound shops and a newsagent.
