DISTANCE/DURATION: 2.7 miles (4.3 km). 1 hour 30 minutes.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT: Service bus Dinas/Fishguard 412, *Poppit Rocket 405 (*seasonal, hail & ride).
CHARACTER: Rugged coast, cliff edge, lanes, reasonably level, 600 m on minor road.
LOOK OUT FOR: Seabirds and views.
Aberbach is a small, beautifully secluded pebble beach framed by low (100 ft) cliffs pocked with tiny coves and caverns.
The area is widely used by kayakers and there are striking views out to sea and inland to the tors of Carn Bica and Carn Gelli rising above the village of Penrhyn.
Located between Dinas Island and Fishguard this stretch of coast is great for sea birds; look for gulls, ravens, choughs and peregrines on the cliffs with the occasional cormorant, razorbill, guillemot and gannet.
Spring squill, buckshorn plantain, vetch and thyme are some of the plants that are able to grow well in the thin soil at the top of the cliff.
