Lovely long beach where you park up and enjoy the sand…always loads of camper vans and lovely doggies. Cafe and take away always very busy. Toilets are free but smelly..could do with a good deep clean! But still a nice place to chill out and watch them trying to get into the ice cold sea
Had Sunday lunch here. Best Sunday lunch we have ever had Service was quick and staff were lovely. We were able to take out dog inside as a section of the dining area is set aside for people with their dogs Highly recommend this place. Fabulous view too. Walk on the beach then have a fabulous lunch
We did not visit the Hotel but the beach and expanse of sand is truly amazing, would recommend a visit if you are in the area.
Another great golfing weekend at Newport Sands - Outstanding location , the views are great , staff fantastic (big shout out to the cafe staff who were excellent) plus top people in the golf shop who looked after us. The rooms are clean and spacious with an en suite bathroom that does the job. The breakfast after a good night out was freshly cooked and a good portion. We were a group of 8 ( 2 x 4 balls ) and all love coming here for our annual get together - for the price we pay for 2 rounds of golf plus bed and breakfast for 1 night - you will struggle to find a better venue. Get it right with finding entertainment in the nearby town (as we did) and it's a top trip. The only downside was slow playing members but that was addressed. The course itself was in decent condition , some animal scrapes on the fairways and greens but what do you expect. A good test of golf and very enjoyable. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g311424-d7222874-r951604146-Newport_Sands_Golf_Club_and_Resort-Newport_Trefdraeth_Pembrokeshire_Wales.html#
Great dog friendly beach with on beach parking if the tides out. Car park available also at £5 a day. Public toilets, coffee, ice cream by coast guard hut. Worth a walk up to golf club for excellent views and food and drink.
Lovely beach and when the tide is out you can walk for miles. We parked on the beach, a bit steep at £5 and walked around the estuary to Newport itself. Good pub lunch at the Castle Inn and a gentle stroll back along the beach when the tide was out. Good ice cream at the beach. Very dog friendly and very clean
This is a beautiful beach with unusual dark coloured sands because of the eroding cliffs of shale. The best ever skimming stones were found here and today at the towering age of 43 and 363 days old I successfully skimmed stones across the sea. It is a lovely calm part of the world with stunning gorse shrubs lining the nearby golf course. It was surprisingly plastic rubbish free but then I saw two young lads dutifully collecting the tiny amount left at the high tide line.
Beach is lovely and dog friendly out of summer season
A 4-minute walk from Newport Beach on Newport Bay, this informal golf hotel is 3 miles from the A487 road and 6 miles from Pentre Ifan, a neolithic dolmen.
