- Poppit Sands
Poppit Sands is a very large, sandy
beach at the estuary of theRiver Teifi near Cardigan inWales . It is close toSt Dogmaels and the northern end of thePembrokeshire Coast Path starts there. This spot is a significant gathering spot forsurfers and boogie-boarders alike. There is a shop across the road from the beach entrance. Here beach-goers can purchase beach toys and wet suits. The shop serves ice cream and mid-day meals.The beach is very gently sloping so the sea is shallow, and tides are rapid. Due to the estuary there are unpredictable currents and bathing is not always safe. An
RNLI lifeboat station operates from the beach. They perform drills about twice a day.The beach has an outstanding view of
Cardigan Island .A local photographer has spent a year working on Poppit Sands - creating a collection of work that earned him a finalist position in the prestigious Hasselblad Masters Award. www.mgjackson.co.uk
