Parking & Facilities at Parrog

Parrog offers a decent sized pay and display car park, however it does fill up quickly during summer holidays. It is fully tarmacked and has some dedicated disabled spaces. There are toilets (male, female & disabled) with ramp access. There is also ramp access to the beach. Parrog car park is also popular for those walking the Newport Estuary footpath, the path starts just 150 yards back up the road from the car park. It's a lovely flat path suitable for walking, cycling and wheelchairs, with paths off it to the park, Newport shops and cafes and continues on to Newport beach road. From Parrog up to the white bridge on Newport beach road is suitable for all abilities.

Beach Environment & Safety

Parrog beach is very small at high tide, with just a small stretch that runs in front of the car park, and another small sandy cove behind Newport Boat Club. However, when the tide is out the beach stretches right down to the headland on the left hand side. You can walk right to the end where the river meets the sea, the beach route may involve clambering over some rocks depending on the height of the tide, and you'll have lots of coves to explore along the way. Alternatively, you can take the coast path which runs right along the coastline, and drops in and out of some of the coves, one of which is home to the old lifeboat station. There are no lifeguards patrolling at Parrog, so our main bit of advice would be to check the tide times before visiting Parrog Tide Times & Weather.

Fun at the Beach

Parrog is very popular for boating, sailing, kayaking and paddle boarding. The beach is popular for dog walking, beachcombing and sand castles.
