Continue Along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path

If you'd like to extend your walk, continue along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path to the left side of the beach. Although this section is not fully accessible, it is relatively flat and follows the edge of the estuary for around another 10 minutes.

The path curves gently around the shoreline until you reach the old lifeguard station. During low tide, a lot of this section can be walked along the beach, and during high tide, there are high tide routes to ensure you can pass through safely and with dry feet.

Along the way you'll discover several small sheltered coves with crystal-clear water - perfect for a paddle or even a swim on a warm day. It's a wonderfully peaceful stretch of coastline and one of Newport's hidden gems.

The lifeboat station cove is the furthest point of this walk, and after skimming a few stones, we turn here and head back the way we came. From here, continuing along the coast, the path turns a little more rugged, with steep cliff edges around the first headland.

Life on the Estuary

The mouth of the estuary is always bustling with activity. Depending on the tide, you may spot sailing boats, paddleboarders, kayakers and swimmers making the most of the sheltered waters.

If you're planning to launch your own kayak, paddleboard or boat, be sure to check the Newport Parrog Boat Club website for launching information. The concrete slipway is completely tidal, so tide times are essential.

Don't Miss the Sunset

If you're lucky enough to be here in the evening, stay a little longer and experience one of Newport Parrog's spectacular sunsets. As the sun sinks behind Dinas Island, the sky comes alive with rich shades of gold, orange, pink and purple, reflecting across the calm waters of the estuary and the moored boats. It's a wonderfully peaceful way to end the day and one of the most photographed views in Newport, making it well worth lingering for after your walk or evening meal.
