Descrição
The stretch of coastal path between Abereiddi and Porthgain has a few interesting landmarks, there having been a slate mine here until 1910. The carpark at southern end is popular with sea-kayak rental firms and adventure tourism that take schoolchildren from the nearby hostel to swim in the so called Blue Lagoon. At the northern end, a picturesque old harbour is a wonderful place to enjoy fish and chips.
Along the path here expect to see Chasco-cinzento, Papa-amoras-comum, Cartaxo-comum, Pintarroxo-comum and Laverca in breeding season. peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro, Corvo, are likely year round. Gralha-de-bico-vermelho is possible.
Gulls including Alcatraz-comum and Fulmar-glacial are likely flying past and Ganso-patola or Corvo-marinho-de-faces-brancas may be seen out to sea.
Detalhes
Acesso
The walk can be done as a there-and-back starting from either end but parking in the large National Trust managed pay-and-display at Abereiddi beach is likely to be the easiest option. There are toilets here open in the summer (but no disabled or baby-change facilities).
There is a bus route called the Strumble Shuttle that goes between Abereiddi and Porthgain so could be used to help plan a point-to-point, or to access one of the ends from other nearby towns. The walk is about 3,5 km one way.
