Facilities and Access
Poppit Sands lies at the northern end of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, an 180 mile long-distance walk. There is a large pay car-park, with adjacent public toilets. (The car park is currently being renovated. When complete, at the end of May 2013, it will provide marked bays for 100 cars, with an improved bus-turning area.)
The cafe and shop, located by the car park, has been recently refurbished, and also sells beach items like beach balls, inflatables, buckets and spades, and a limited range of body boards and wetsuits.
The main beach is accessed from a boardwalk, and is suitable for disabled access.
Poppit Sands gives its name to "The Poppit Rocket", a local bus service which largely follows the coast between Cardigan and Fishguard, and which calls at the beach here.
Poppit Sands Youth Hostel, a former inn, is up the lane towards Cemaes Head, has views over the estuary and bay.
Camping, with hard-standing for camper-vans, is available at Poppit Sands.
The nearest pub/hotel is the Webley Hotel, located on the road between Poppit Sands car park and the village of St. Dogmaels.

Famous quotes containing the words facilities and/or access:
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“The last publicized center of American writing was Manhattan. Its writers became known as the New York Intellectuals. With important connections to publishing, and universities, with access to the major book reviews, they were able to pose as the vanguard of American culture when they were so obsessed with the two Joes—McCarthy and Stalin—that they were to produce only two artists, Saul Bellow and Philip Roth, who left town.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
