Poppit Sands is a sandy beach on the west coast of Wales, backed with sand dunes at the mouth of the Teifi Estuary. It is a blue flag bathing beach making it an ideal holiday location. Lifeguards patrol the beach between July and August from 10.00 - 6.00 each day. It is also the start of the Pembrokshire coastal path to Amroth which is 180 miles away. Poppit Sands is the closest beach to Cardigan town and St. Dogmael's with level access [the other nearby beach is Mwnt Beach is accessed down a flight of steps]

Power Kiting is a rapidly growing sport. Whether its buggying, land boarding, kite boarding or just Power kiting Poppit Sands Beach is a perfect location. With almost 1/2 a mile of beach to play with it means there is room for everyone, the high tide line due to the beach being at the mouth of the River Teifi means there is lots of hard sand for buggiers and boarders.

There is a permanent Life Guard station for peace of mind and during summer months a cafe set just off the beach. The Webley hotel just before Poppit Sands, and The Ferry Inn in St Dogmael's serve food.
