Enjoy an invigorating walk around the Abermawr coast
A wild stretch of coastline from blue lagoon to beach
Popular with divers and coasteerers, Abereiddi's Blue Lagoon is a spectacular coastal feature. The lagoon is actually a flooded former slate quarry and you can still see atmospheric ruined quarry buildings on the clifftops.
Escape from the hustle and bustle of modern day life with a walk along the quiet and secluded Abermawr Beach, with marsh and woodlands behind. It was once selected by Brunel as a cable and railway terminus.
Then explore Abercastle, a picturesque cove and fishing village, with a sand and shingle beach. Ruined limekilns and a corn store are further signs of Pembrokeshire's industrial past.
When Red Bull came to the Blue Lagoon

In September 2012 we hosted the UK stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2012. The competition, over two days, brought the world's top cliff divers to the Blue Lagoon, and over 2,000 people watched the event over the two days.
Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series returns in 2013
The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series is returning to the Blue Lagoon, Abereiddi for a second year.
